Earlier today, a victim was robbed at gunpoint near the intersection of Stuart and Hillegass in the Southside neighborhood of Berkeley. According to a Twitter post from KTVU's Henry Lee, two individuals escaped in a white Infiniti G37 after forcibly taking the victim's watch.

Merely 15 minutes following the Stuart and Hillegass robbery, a separate group of five individuals, wearing hoodies and masks and armed with at least one gun, brazenly broke into a showcase at @2ndstreetusa near Telegraph and Blake.

Leaving with purses and other items, the suspects were last seen fleeing the scene in a silver Kia Soul, as reported by the Berkeley Police Department.
