Suspects Caught Minutes After Jewelry Robbery
The three robbery suspects were identified by the victim after robbing him of his gold jewelry on Monday afternoon along San Leandro Boulevard.
Within minutes, staff searched the area looking for the suspects. A member of SLPD's Crime Suppression Unit observed three men matching the description of the suspects walking on San Leandro Boulevard near the Oakland Border.
The three men were detained and some of the victim’s property was recovered. The victim positively identified the three men as the suspects who were responsible for the robbery. All three suspects were arrested and booked.
They were identified as Odell Jones, 21, of San Leandro, Darryl Hickman, 25, of Oakland and Randolph Harris, 20, of Oakland.
“Fortunately the suspects in this incident were arrested because the victim cooperated with them and immediately reported the robbery to us," Lt. Randall Brandt said in a press release. "Citizens need to continue to avoid being targets by hiding their jewelry and valuables. We are not sure if it would have prevented this robbery from occurring, but we are confident it could reduce street robberies throughout our city.”
