OAKLAND — A half-dozen juveniles snatched two iPhones from a man at the Lake Merritt BART station Saturday night, BART police said.
The adult victim reported the theft just after 11 p.m. He was riding a Warm Springs-bound train when six juveniles forcibly took the two phones from him, police said.
The man did not provide a description of the minors. BART police declined to provide further information.
BART came under fire last year when a large group of up to 60 minors and young adults stormed a train and snatched cell phones and purses from several passengers, including two who suffered injuries to their head and face. BART police later arrested some of the participants in the robbery.
