The founder of a local running club is still shaken after being robbed at gunpoint in Oakland at Joaquin Miller Park Friday morning. Jacob Zlobinsky was promoting his latest event when he had thousands of dollars in camera equipment taken.The Bay Area Run Club hosts fun events all over, often with hundreds in attendance. But it was while organizers were promoting their Halloween 5k run that things got downright scary.
There were multiple cameras, a drone, and lighting equipment. Zlobinsky used it to do marketing for local businesses."I've already tallied up $26,000. And that's without microphones, the monitor and a whole bunch of other stuff," he said.He filed a report with Oakland police but isn't hopeful."They're going to do their best, but the guys were unidentifiable. They had ski masks. They were covered up... pretty simple clothes," he said.
