An NBC sports crew was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning in Oakland, police said.
The crew was on assignment in the Jack London Square area when three armed individuals took a camera from inside the crew’s vehicle, according to Oakland Police Department spokesperson Kim Armstead. None of the crew members were holding the camera at the time and there were no injuries.
The robbery marks the third incident involving news organizations in Oakland in the last two-and-a-half weeks.
On Dec. 3, a San Francisco Chronicle photographer was robbed at gunpoint in West Oakland. And on Nov. 24, Kevin Nishita — a security guard and former police officer — was fatally shot during an attempted robbery downtown while he was with a KRON-TV Channel 4 news crew.
