A KTVU News crew were robbed in Hayward on Wednesday morning.
The crew, with reporter Tara Moriarty witnessing the robbery, wasn't hurt but a cameraman, Keith Crook was knocked to the ground according to one of my sources.
It isn't known whether the crooks were armed. But they made off with a ton of equipment and camera gear.
This latest robbery in Hayward is nothing new to KTVU which has seen some of its reporters and crew having been involved in takedowns in the past.
Police have no suspects in custody.

Is Tara okay?
ReplyDeleteThat's Oakland/San Leandro/Hayward for ya...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it never happens in SF, sure: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tv-news-crew-attacked-robbed-in-san-francisco-again/
DeleteOh, SF is a pit these days too, but it seems portions of East Bay are worse.
DeleteThough I'd imagine downtown Walnut Creek hasn't had this happen yet... would that make shots from the fountain more palatable to folks here, if it were a more dangerous location?
Happens in San Jose too.
Delete10:53 obviously is unaware of the thuggery that permeated a lot of the downtown walnut creek nightclubs. Beatings, muggings, knife fights. Look it up. It all happened right up the street from the fountain...
DeleteCan I cast a vote for Richmond?
DeleteNot only that, to the jackass at 10:47, the equipment was tracked to San Francisco.
Deletereally Keith Crook? great name..
ReplyDeleteRich ignored the last two times this happened in Oakland but is more than giddy to mention when it happens in SF or outside of O Town.
ReplyDeleteGood thing a reporter was a witness. She should be able to give a very detailed description of the assailants.
ReplyDeleteNo she was doing her hair in the rear view mirror
DeleteWelcome to the Bay Area, FOX!!!
ReplyDeleteanon at 11:26am, with O&O's in LA, NY, DC, Detroit and at one time Boston, I don't think this thing comes as a surprise to Fox.
DeleteWonder why Rich isn't more gleeful about KTVU's misfortune? Seems like his life is dedicated to ridiculing them and celebrating their problems.
ReplyDeleteThe so called "news authority" has bumped heads with the "crime authority"
ReplyDeleteI don't think this kind of thing is isolated to any region of the Bay Area. There are good and bad areas all over the place. I've lived in Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and each area has its more affluent and deprived pockets.
ReplyDeleteRegistered Democrats.
ReplyDeleteObama voters looking for change!
ReplyDeleteThey were looking for hope, too, but she wasn't working that night.
DeleteJust in. The suspects are Bang Ding Ow and Nuk Yu Out
ReplyDeleteA guy named Crook gets robbed by crooks?
ReplyDeleteLieberman once again making up fake news stories for his failing website.
KTVU should sue him.
And you wonder why there are no funny conservative comedians. Because they don't exist.
ReplyDeleteTell that to Jackie Mason.
DeleteI find conservatives hilarious.
DeleteI agree with 3:17. I get a good laugh, every time I hear some conservative bozo talking about the Earth being 6,000 years old. Or that there's no such thing as global climate change.
DeleteWhile ignorance is a curable ailment; stupidity is forever.

DeleteJimmy Kimmel
DeleteDennis Miller?
ReplyDeleteTrib is reporting they tracked the equipment to SF via gps but no mention if they found it or the robbers.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a big surprise. There are more desperate people out there in this country than at any time since the Great Depression. There are also way too many dysfunctional people from broken families and bad circumstances than ever before. Those that don't have at the minimum, a college degree don't have very good prospects for the future. So the ones who are really messed up turn to a life of crime, and these are the kind of situations you get. Sad, but true!
ReplyDeleteA crime which was not committed in the Bayview.
ReplyDeleteDetroit's crime rates have fallen significantly since the acceptance of concealed carry permits. The bulk of californians want a nanny state where the police will protect them. The reality is the overburdened police departments show up to write reports once the smoke has cleared.
ReplyDeleteBoxer's replacement? ANYBODY but Harris.
