Four arrested in connection with Oakland armed robbery

OAKLAND – Four men were arrested in connection with an armed robbery over the weekend in Oakland, police said.

Just after 2:15 p.m. Sunday, three suspects entered a business in the 1800 block of Park Boulevard, near Lake Merritt, and demanded property at gunpoint, according to the Oakland Police Department. Police did not identify the business that was robbed.

The suspects then drove to East Oakland, where they switched to a vehicle driven by a fourth person.

Officers tracked the vehicle through Oakland and onto the Bay Bridge, where they stopped the suspects with help from the California Highway Patrol and the San Francisco Police Department. The men, identified only as Oakland residents, were taken into custody.

The investigation into the robbery is continuing, police said.
