Brazen thieves robbed a 7-Eleven store in Oakland Sunday night and made away with thousands of dollars worth of tobacco products, according to police.
It happened at the store on Fifth Avenue and International Boulevard just after 6 p.m.
Four people were seen running into the store then going behind the counter and grabbing merchandise. The suspects then go into a dark car with at least one bag of loot.
Oakland police say they got away with $10,000 in tobacco products.
On Monday morning, police found a man dead on the street near that same 7-Eleven, but it’s not clear if the crimes are connected.
