The Oakland Police Department is investigating two armed robberies that occurred within a short time frame last week. The first incident took place on Tuesday, September 10, around 10:45 a.m. on the 3500 block of MacArthur Boulevard, followed by a second robbery on Wednesday, September 11, at approximately 10 a.m. A Snap-on delivery driver was targeted while unloading goods near East 12th St. and 51st Ave. During this robbery, an armed suspect entered the delivery van while two accomplices stole items from it. Authorities believe that both robberies are connected, as they involved similar tactics and occurred in close proximity to each other. The police have released a photo of a suspect vehicle, described as a newer model dark gray Dodge Charger 4-door, possibly a wide body, featuring a spoiler and black aftermarket rims. This vehicle is believed to be linked to the suspects involved in the robberies. In an effort to gather more information, the Oakland Police Department has reached out to the public for assistance in identifying and locating the suspect vehicle. They have also encouraged anyone with relevant videos or photos to share them with the investigation team. To incentivize tips leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible, Snap-on is offering a reward of up to $25,000. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work diligently to resolve these crimes and ensure community safety.
