Articles and videos about Longtime African Caribbean market in Oakland burglarized on KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco.
Burglars flipped a camera around, used tools to yank open a security gate and broke into African Caribbean Food Market in Old Oakland just after dawn on Thursday. "I'm hurt. I'm disappointed. I'm devastated. So many emotions that are going through my mind," said Nkem Itua, who owns the market with her husband Dennis, says the burglars stole a cash register. Surveillance video shows one guy vaulting the counter and then handing over the register to the others.
He said besides offering things like organic spices, goat stew, jerk seasoning and other mainstays of African Caribbean cuisiine, the market has been a pillar in the neighborhood, hiring at-risk teenagers and giving a boost to those in need."We help so many people in this community. We've fed the homeless, we've given free food away, we've done so much good stuff in this community. Why would somebody want to do this to us?" he asked.
