The frustrated owner claimed police took nine hours to respond to his plea for help after the horde, fresh from a car sideshow, barged in and looted the store. Approximately 80 to 100 people raided the 76 Station, snatching items and causing chaos. The looters, irked by the store's window service policy, stole cash and threatened employees during the 40-minute rampage. Despite efforts to report the crime, police categorized it as a low priority until video evidence raised its urgency. The incident reflects Oakland's rising crime rates, prompting closures of restaurants and causing concern among residents. The owner lamented the loss of his hard work, highlighting the city's struggle with crime and law enforcement response times.
