Oakland liquor store burglarized after car drives through entrance; 3rd incident in 2 months: owner

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Oakland police are looking into a liquor store burglary that happened in the early hours on Tuesday when a car drove through the front entrance.

It happened at Eddie's Drive In Liquors just before 3 a.m. at the intersection of College and Taft avenues.

"The group of guys came in and they slammed the door with their van, then got inside. Obviously they grabbed a lot of liquors, cigarettes, the money we have in the registers. This one is our third time in less than two months," said David Shrestha, the co-owner at Eddie's Drive In Liquors.

Oakland police officers arrived within 10 minutes of the alarm sounding off.
