Police in Oakland on Friday confirmed the recent arrests of three suspects in connection with carjackings as officers deal with a slight increase in that type of crime this year.
Officers located one of the carjacked vehicles Wednesday traveling in the 2500 block of Highland Avenue. Officers followed the vehicle with the help of the department's helicopter to the 3300 block of Maybelle Way, a dead-end street.
Two more people were inside the vehicle the driver fled from and the pair was arrested, according to police. All three of the suspects were arrested without any trouble, police said. In that carjacking, police allege three people confronted the victim as she was getting out of the vehicle, grabbed her purse and dragged her on the ground before leaving in her vehicle.
Officers activated the key fob's panic alarm and located another vehicle that was reported carjacked Saturday in the 1600 block of Foothill Boulevard, according to police. A suspect in that carjacking was carrying a rifle, police said.
