On July 24th, 2018, Sam's Jewelry store located inside of Bayfair Mall was robbed by two adult male suspects. The incident occurred around 6:30 pm when the two black male suspects entered the store and began inquiring about the "expensive" jewelry line. The two suspects left the store but returned a short time later.
 
One suspect stood outside the store while the other entered now wearing gloves and produced a hammer from his pocket. The suspect began smashing the glass display cases and eventually reached inside and began stealing the jewelry. Approximately $14,000 worth of jewelry was taken.
 
Both suspects fled the store and were quickly confronted by a Bayfair Mall security officer.  The hammer used in the crime was thrown at the security officer which struck him in the face causing injury.  Both suspects reached the parking lot and fled the area in their vehicle. A partial license plate of the suspect vehicle was recorded and later given to police.
 
San Leandro Police detectives were able to obtain video surveillance footage from the store cameras. The images of the suspects were shared with other law enforcement agencies in the area, and within a few days, a tip was received with a possible identity on the two suspects.
 
On August 7th, San Leandro Police detectives identified and arrested 35 yr-old Oakland resident Steven Glenn as the suspect who used the hammer to commit the robbery and as the suspect who assaulted the security officer. In addition, the clothing worn by Glenn during the commission of the crime were also located. Glenn gave detectives a full confession of the crimes.
 
On August 8th, San Leandro Police detectives identified and arrested the second suspect; 41 yr-old Oakland resident Randy Hawkins. The vehicle used to flee the crime was also located by detectives. Hawkins as well gave a full confession of his involvement to detectives.
 
"This case is example of how video surveillance and collaboration with partner law enforcement come together to solve a violent incident," said San Leandro Police Lieutenant Isaac Benabou. "Our detectives continuously share information with surrounding law enforcement agencies in a joint effort to help each other. It is necessary in a time where criminals travel between jurisdictions."
 
Both Glenn and Hawkins were charged by the Alameda County District Attorney for robbery and assault charges. Both suspects remain in custody at Alameda County's Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
