\nFour Arrested in Carjacking and Robbery Spree<\/p>\n

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating a series of armed robberies that occurred just before 12:15 a.m. on April 20, 2026, in East Oakland.<\/p>\n

While on patrol, officers located a vehicle that was later confirmed to have been taken in a recent armed carjacking. When officers attempted an enforcement stop, the vehicle failed to yield.<\/p>\n

Officers later located the vehicle in the area of Kingsland Place and Morcom Avenue, where multiple juveniles exited and ran. After a brief foot pursuit, officers took four juveniles into custody, two from Oakland, one from Hayward, and one from Richmond. \u00a0<\/p>\n

During the arrests, officers recovered two loaded, unregistered firearms. Both firearms had devices that converted them into fully automatic weapons.<\/p>\n

A preliminary investigation links the four juveniles to multiple crimes that took place in East Oakland between 9:45 p.m. on April 19 and 12:15 a.m. on April 20. The crimes included armed robberies and a pistol-whipping incident.<\/p>\n

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Robbery Unit at (510) 238-3326. Additionally, anyone with videos or photos that may assist the investigation is encouraged to send them to cidvideos@oaklandca.gov.<\/p>\n
