Two 20-year-old roommates in Oakland have been charged in a robbery case linked to a pattern of incidents in the East Bay. The victim was rear-ended, prompting him to exit his vehicle to exchange information, at which point he was robbed of approximately $15,000 worth of jewelry. One suspect faces multiple charges including robbery and gun-related offenses, while the other has been charged with being an accessory post-crime and receiving stolen property. Both men have pleaded not guilty, but their case highlights a worrying trend of similar robberies in the region.
