Several merchants from Oakland's Chinatown gathered Friday to voice their frustration and fear, after a series of what they believe are targeted robberies and burglaries against Asian merchants.
“To me, it’s like a flash mob. They are very organized,” said Francis Lan, President, Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.“We need the protection not only in daytime, we need protection during night time,” said business owner Albert Wong. The community is calling on OPD to increase nighttime patrols and blasted police for not attending today’s meeting. The group also criticized the “Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council” for not doing enough to address concerns.
“We work with the city and county officers, but it is not our only responsibility, It’s the cleanliness, the revitalization of our businesses, hence business improvement district,” Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council Stewart Chen. In response to the spike in burglaries, OPD said they are deploying additional officers to the areas most impacted- but did not give specifics.
At the same time, Wong believes many crimes are going un reporting and is calling on her community to do its part. “If anyone is fear based or not wanting to come forward, you are actually doing a disservice for your community,” she said.
