OAKLAND \u2014 A city resident has been arrested and charged with being one half of a local bandit crew that targeted donut shops almost exclusively, court records show.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s a suspect in six such incidents, including four that occurred on Jan. 16. All but one targeted donut shops in San Leandro and Oakland.<\/p>\n
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\u2019 outfits.<\/p>\n
Police allege that the man and an uncharged accomplice would typically jump over the shops\u2019 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 \u201cemployee armed herself with a knife and confronted them, prompting both suspects to flee,\u201d but they threw a coffee pot at her and caused $810 in damage during the incident, police said. Later that day, they showed up at a donut shop on Broadway, armed themselves with a coffee pot inside the store, and used it to commit a $100 robbery, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old man has pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, court records show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 A city resident has been arrested and charged with being one half of a local bandit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[861,862,93665,143,863,93664,145,144],"class_list":["post-201853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-bay-area-crime","tag-california-crime","tag-colonial-donuts","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-crime","tag-oakland-donuts","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
