Surveillance video released by Oakland police shows a 1990s 4-door, black or dark-green Toyota Camry or similar model ramming a business and damaging a brick wall and gate.
Seconds later another vehicle, possibly 2004 silver or beige Ford Explorer XLS, reverses into the front of the business.
Three people wearing all-black clothing used a chain attached to the Ford Explorer to pry open the front security gate. One suspect, armed with a handgun, enters the business, according to a release from Oakland police.
The suspects left the area in the vehicle in an unknown direction.
Anyone who recognizes the burglars or vehicles is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department Robbery Unit at (510) 238-3426 or the Tip Line at (510) 238-3951.
