The robbery occurred at around 5:30 p.m. when several armed suspects approached an ABC7 news crew, demanding their belongings in a brazen attack.
Sam Singer, spokesperson for the Oakland Police Officers Association, stated that one suspect shoved a victim to the ground and forcibly took her backpack.
Robberies targeting news crews for their expensive equipment are not new in the Bay Area, though these incidents have declined in recent years.
In 2021, former San Jose police Officer Kevin Nishita was tragically shot while working as a security guard for KRON during a similar incident.
