Four teenage boys, all 16 or 17, have been arrested and are suspected of committing a string of 19 armed robberies throughout the Bay Area over the past month, San Leandro police said in a press release Friday.
Police said the robbery spree began in early January in downtown Oakland and included four incidents in San Leandro. Most of the robberies took place at ATM machines, according to the San Leandro Police Department.
The robbery happened when Krans was starting his walk home from Fruitvale BART after commuting from work at KCBS in San Francisco. He crossed a dark parking lot when he heard someone yell, "Hey!"
"And I was like, 'Oh crap, that's not a friendly greeting,'" he recalled. Then, he said, he saw a young man with a gun pointed at him, so he handed over his backpack and wallet. "It was over really quickly, but having a gun pointed at you is never really a fun experience."
Krans said what he wants most of the situation, now that he's gotten his belongings back, is to meet the teenagers who committed the crimes. "If anything I want to meet the kids to find out their situation. Like, 'How did you get into this situation where you felt like you needed to this?'
"One of the lieutenants said to me that they hope that these kids can get the resources that they need to kind of hopefully straighten their lives out."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The latest deadly shooting in Nashville involving five minors has caused people in the community to raise questions about the juvenile justice system and restorative justice measures.
Metro Nashville Police said the two stolen guns recovered were reported stolen. The pistols were taken from two unlocked vehicles. One vehicle was stolen Wednesday, January 6th 2019, the other pistol was stolen last year. It’s unclear how the juveniles got both guns in their possession.
The mother of 16-year-old Decorrius Wright who was charged with homicide after Thursday's fatal shooting , told Newschannel 5 her son was at the Juvenile Justice Center Wednesday night before the shooting because he ran away. She picked him up.
On Thursday, Wright, Diamond Lewis, 15, of Dinwiddie Drive, and Roniyah McKnight, 14, of Clifton Avenue were charged with homicide in the death of 24-year-old Kyle Yorlets . A 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy were also charged.
Davidson County Juvenile Court Judge Sheila Calloway said kids at this age struggle to find themselves.
Calloway said the community needs more services for parents on how to discipline their children. She also suggested parents ask churches or local organizations for help on how to teach their children right and wrong if needed.
