An employee told KTVU that it happened around 4:30 a.m. on Friday, just before the store was set to open. The gas station is in the Bridgeside Shopping Center on the corner of Blanding Avenue and Tilden Way. "You can see the spot where they ripped it out. And the cashier, he was telling me the guys backed the truck in through the door, hooked a cable around it and then just yanked it out and took off," said Joshua Parshey.
""It’s kind of sad to say, but it’s starting to be the norm around here. I mean yesterday they had the jewelry store robbery and now this right here," said Parshey.A similar burglary happened Thursday at a jewelry store in Oakland, where criminals used a chain to yank a safe out and drag it. They eventually left it in the street when police started closing in.
