A victim of a home burglary is speaking out about the crime in Oakland, saying Oakland police aren’t doing enough to make reporting crimes easy or following up when a crime is committed.
Denise, who does not want to publicly share her last name, said her East Oakland home was broken into last Wednesday, and she’s been in limbo with the police ever since."It just felt very violating, the house smelled like marijuana – like who are these people that came into my house?" she asked herself.Denise said her neighbor called her at around 2:15 in the afternoon on the 13th, telling her two men were climbing through her window.
A police officer called her back late in the night, leaving a voicemail that an officer could come by, but Denise was asleep.On Nextdoor, at least two other people complained of the same problem, with their Oakland houses getting hit just half an hour apart last Tuesday afternoon.One woman in Glenview complained that her house was hit at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, with a couple of young men climbing through a window. A second victim in Maxwell Park said her house was broken into at 2:55 p.m.
