A family from Florida is sending a warning to out-of-town visitors coming to Oakland.
The family was dropping off their teen at college when they were "bipped" and lost important personal documents and thousands of dollars worth of belongings.Rhomel Crossman, who just graduated high school in Florida, was planning to attend Lincoln University in downtown Oakland .Now, his family is planning on withdrawing his enrollment because they’re too traumatized to leave him in Oakland for school.
She said a witness told them they saw masked men driving in a car without a license plate in broad daylight, something people in Oakland know all too well."I didn’t know that these things happen in America so it’s really strange to me," said Murray Watson.She said she called the police but was told to file a report in person at a police station."To me, it’s lawless because we even called the police three times and they said they can’t come," she said.
