Drivers in the Oakland Hills are on alert following a recent carjacking and another potential attempted carjacking in which the driver managed to get away.
On July 12, the department issued a Public Safety Advisory, noting an increased number of reports of attempted carjackings in those neighborhoods. Police also noted in some recent cases armed suspects are using their cars to try to stop and then rob other drivers.
"We’ve seen a significant uptick of carjackings, especially in the skyline boulevard, it’s a very rural area," Neri noted. Multiple neighborhood groups are planning to hold a meeting Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Montclair Presbyterian Church to have a discussion with Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price as well as other local elected officials.
Oakland police say they are"closely tracking this current trend" of attempted carjackings. Anyone who is a victim of one of these crimes or who has information about the people who may be responsible is asked to call Oakland police at 510-238-3326.Always keep your vehicle's doors locked and the windows rolled up
