One of the business owners expressed frustration over the delayed police response: 'It took police more than eight hours to show up after I called 911.' This reflects serious issues in emergency response prioritization for businesses under attack.
The owner described the brazen nature of the crime: 'They rammed in and came right in... Neither vehicle had license plates. They had masks and were covered up.' This points to a coordinated approach by the criminals.
Another owner lamented: 'This was just super ridiculous that they just left all of us here stranded all these hours... We're paying taxes, providing services for the community.' It emphasizes the disconnect between police priorities and community safety.
The Oakland Police Department reportedly struggled to respond due to multiple similar incidents: 'The department's alibi is that they had nine other very similar smash-and-grabs to respond to that morning.' This sheds light on the extent of organized crime in the area.
