Nearly 100 suspects cause $100,000 in damage and losses following “street takeover” in Oakland
A very large group of suspects looted a California gas station just down the road from an In-N-Out Burger that recently closed down due to rampant crime in the area, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded at around 4:30 a.m. on Friday in Oakland.
After a nearby “street takeover” broke up, a mob arrived at a 76 gas station and became enraged when they learned the shop was only offering window service.
As many as 100 people stormed the mini-mart and began stealing merchandise and destroying displays.
Remember that profitable In-N-Out Burger that closed in Oakland due to crime?

Manager Sam Mardaie told ABC7 he called police but they never showed up.
Mardaie estimates the damage and losses at around $100,000.
“When asked about the response time, Oakland police say based on the initial details the caller reported, the crime was listed as a Priority 2 burglary – which means no suspects are on scene – and the caller was referred to online crime reporting,” ABC7 reports.
“However, video evidence was later reported to OPD that made clear the scale and details of the incident, including the large number of suspects, and the incident was immediately elevated to a Priority 1 incident, which prompted an officer to go to the scene.”
An investigation is ongoing.
Just a quarter of a mile from the affected 76 sits an empty building previously occupied by a thriving In-N-Out Burger.
In January, In-N-Out announced the closure of its only Oakland location — despite being profitable — citing violent crime and thefts affecting employees and guests, potentially making it the first location to ever be shut down by the wildly-popular West Coast-based company.
Other restaurant chains, including Raising Cane’s and Denny’s, have also reduced services in Oakland or closed altogether due to out-of-control crime and insecurity.
