Oakland Gas Station Ransacked by Large Crowd After Car Crash, Causing $100,000 in Damages
Jul 6, 2024, 12:17 AM
A gas station in Oakland, California, was ransacked by a large crowd early Friday morning. Reports indicate that between 70 to 100 people participated in the robbery, which resulted in significant damage and losses estimated at around $100,000. The incident occurred at the 76 Gas Station & Mini Market on Hegenberger Road, close to a recently closed In-N-Out Burger. The group reportedly broke fridges, dismantled the ATM, and left the store in disarray with empty shelves and scattered items. The gas station owner expressed frustration, noting that police did not respond to his call for help. The robbery, which took place around 4:30 am, was reportedly triggered by a car crash into the gas station's glass. This event is part of a broader trend of increasing crime in the area, raising concerns among local residents and business owners, with some pointing to Mayor Sheng Thao's administration.
