"The 20-year-old Oakland man has been charged with four counts of second degree robbery in connection with store hold-ups that occurred between Dec. 30, 2025 and last Jan. 16, court records show. But police say he's a suspect in six such incidents, including four that occurred on Jan. 16. All but one targeted donut shops in San Leandro and Oakland."
"Police allege that the man and an uncharged accomplice would typically jump over the shops' counters and raid the cash registers, or simply grab the cash registers and run. In one robbery of a shop on Market Street in Oakland, the employee armed herself with a knife and confronted them, prompting both suspects to flee, but they threw a coffee pot at her and caused $810 in damage."
"He was identified from cellphone records, surveillance footage, and victim statements, authorities said. When police came to arrest him last month, he was wearing shoes that looked similar to one of the robbers' outfits."
