Burglars have been caught on camera prowling and breaking into homes in Oakland while dressed as Amazon delivery workers.
One surveillance video shows a man wearing what appears to be an Amazon vest getting out of a Ford Explorer outside a home in the Oakland hills. He is seen holding a package at the front door of the home in the Oakmore neighborhood earlier this month."They're impersonating an Amazon delivery driver," said the resident, who did not want her name used.
"It's just scary because they are getting bolder. They think that this Amazon vest is going to protect them from not being suspicious," the woman said.An hour later, the same men, one in an Amazon vest, showed up at another Oakland hills home and stole cash, jewelry, designer bags and shoes. That victim told KTVU the group left behind the crowbar apparently used in the earlier incident. The crowbar has been turned over to police.
The woman whose house was burglarized agreed, saying, "If you can't even trust the delivery system, it just makes me concerned about what these people are willing to do."
