Seniors who live in a Berkeley Hills neighborhood are feeling rattled after two residents were targeted by armed teenagers in less than a week.
The kids stole the man’s watch and left him bleeding after hit his head on the sidewalk.
“He actually knocked on the neighbor’s door and they were the ones who called the police department to get him some assistance,” said Perry. Just last week, a 78-year-old woman was targeted by another armed teenager while walking her dog just a few blocks away. She used a stick to fight the attacker off. Police arrested the 16-year-old boy.
“A little shocked that something like that happened. I was a little shocked that the people that committed the robbery were so young,” said resident Curtis Sakai.“Might be an easier mark, so it’s a lot safer for them to attack somebody they think is vulnerable,” said Long. Police are urging residents to walk in groups and to be aware. And they say it’s best to hand over belongings instead of fighting back. “My wife and I will go out in pairs, we won’t go at night, will be careful. I don’t have a jewelry, but my wife won’t be wearing any jewelry. We won’t have our pocketbooks, or wallets so we won’t look like we’re sort of an easy mark,” said Long.The two kids responsible for Monday’s attack have not yet been caught. They sped away in a gray, two-door Infiniti.
