Oakland is a criminal’s paradise. Few police, less law enforcement—now the city council is cutting back even more on police protection. It is like taking candy from a baby.
“— The Lucky Supermarket in Montclair was targeted twice in three days this week by pre-dawn burglars, who used a vehicle to smash through an entrance before taking merchandise in one break-in and some cash from an ATM in the other, authorities said.”
Maybe the criminals will hold a convention/conference in Oakland!

OAKLAND — The Lucky Supermarket in Montclair was targeted twice in three days this week by pre-dawn burglars, who used a vehicle to smash through an entrance before taking merchandise in one break-in and some cash from an ATM in the other, authorities said.
Police are investigating the possibility some of the same suspects were involved in both burglaries, based on the method used and video surveillance.
The first burglary happened about 4:40 a.m. Tuesday at the store, which is at 1963 Mountain Blvd.
Police said four suspects used a Lexus sedan to back into the store through a front entrance.
They apparently were able to make off with cigarettes and other merchandise before fleeing in the vehicle. An attempt to steal an ATM inside the store was unsuccessful.
The store was able to open for business later in the day.
The video player is currently playing an ad.
At about 4:44 a.m. Thursday, four vehicles entered the store parking lot. Seven suspects got out of the vehicles while another rammed a vehicle into the store through the same entrance as Tuesday.
This time, the thieves were able to open the ATM and flee with an undetermined amount of cash before police could respond, authorities said.
Detailed descriptions of the suspects have not been released.
Oakland’s situation is a tough one that has deteriorated over time. Changing things starts with one principal, the same principal the state of CA is lacking, LEADERSHIP. Good leadership changes everything (think of the 2-14 SF 49ers, then Bill Walsh showed up and had a Super Bowl win in his 3rd year). Mindy Pechenuk for Mayor of Oakland. Get behind her people of Oakland. As I once heard a newbie rallying voters about his running for President, “what do you have to lose.”
