Security Guard Is Robbed At Gunpoint At An In-n-Out Burger In Oakland, Store Is Due To Close Because Of Crime

Oakland, CA.— Video captures car burglars reportedly confronting and robbing a security guard at gunpoint while casually breaking into cars and stealing luggage from unsuspecting victims at In-N-Out in Oakland, California.

In-N-Out is closing its first location in its 75-year history due to a crime wave affecting customers and employees at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.

The restaurant announced this week that they are permanently shutting down their first In-N-Out in history due to “ongoing issues with crime” in a letter sent to local reporter Dion Lim.

FULL STATEMENT:

“We have made the decision to close our In-N-Out Burger location in Oakland, California, due to ongoing issues with crime. Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies.

Our last day of business in Oakland will be Sunday, March 24, 2024.

We are grateful for the local community, which has supported us for over 18 years, and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts our Associates and their families. Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates - we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment.

All affected Associates will have the opportunity to transfer to a nearby In-N-Out location or, alternatively, receive a severance package.
