Burglars kicked down doors and ransacked 16 small businesses in East Oakland 's troubled Hegenberger corridor. All the affected businesses are located inside an office building at 8055 Collins Drive, which is situated right behind the Denny's Restaurant that shut down earlier this year citing crime.The building co-owner and community activist Ken Houston said the thieves cut through two layers of fencing to get into the property around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
'We live in a place where people just feel like they can get away with crime. It's sad, real sad,' said Jesus Arellano of Innovative Building Inc. Arrellano said he was still assessing the damage, but lost mostly electronic devices.'They took my laptop with all my business information on it, bank accounts, everything. So now, I have to call the banks and cancel everything,' said Maria Ramirez, president of Oakland's Beautification Council, a nonprofit organization.
