Oakland shop owners aren't doing enough to investigation burglaries as the city is in midst of a surge of commercial break-ins. Crime data from the Oakland Police Department shows commercial burglaries went up 76% last year.
When Ali Shami got a call last month that his convenience store in West Oakland was burglarized, he called police and began cleaning up the mess.
Their calls for authorities to do more come as Oakland is in the midst of a surge in store burglaries. Crime data from the city police department shows"I think the police should take a part in this and get serious about it because it’s going to get worse and worse," said Abdul Dabwan, who owns a shop in Oakland.
His shop, Salam Market, is Halal and already does not sell cigarettes, tobacco or liquor. Video from the most recent break in shows a team of criminals force their way through his front door before going for the ATM.He’s since removed the ATM and placed a sign in the front window telling customers – and criminals – there’s no cash machine inside.
But historically, Oakland police solve very few burglaries. According to the state Department of Justice, Oakland police solved just 1.5% of burglaries in 2021 – the year before cases surged.
