With the help of Hadal's surveillance footage, officers were able to obtain search warrants and make three arrests last Thursday.
Oakland Marine Patrol Officer Kaleo Albino said there has been a small uptick in crime recently and more reports of stolen kayaks and radar GPS screens in recent weeks.
The scrutiny last summer also led to increased police patrols and a renewed focus on removing people who were illegally living on boats in the estuary.
There is no debate that crime on the estuary has fallen since that acute period 8 months ago. But to some businesses, the arrests are proof that the cycle of crime is beginning anew.
