OAKLAND, Calif. – A convicted thief has been charged with burglarizing an Oakland<\/a> fire station, where authorities say she was found wearing stolen fire gear.<\/p>\n

Suspect found inside station <\/p>\n

Crystal Coleman, 41, is accused of entering Fire Station 20 near 98th Avenue and International Boulevard. Firefighters found her inside the station wearing a fire hat, shirt and pants, according to police.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Coleman was also in possession of a firefighter’s laptop and a package at the time of her arrest.<\/p>\n

Prior arrest in robbery case <\/p>\n

In December, Coleman was arrested and charged with robbery in a separate incident. She is accused of demanding a burrito at knifepoint from a taco stand near 90th Avenue and International Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Police said she then allegedly entered the food truck, fixed herself a plate and again brandished a knife before stealing cash from a tip jar.<\/p>\n
