An off-duty Oakland Police Department officer saw the crime along with other witnesses in the area.
They followed Esteen, who eventually dropped the stolen belongings, police said. The off-duty officer was able to collect the stolen items.
Esteen was arrested in the case but has not been charged yet as police are searching for the two victims in the brazen assault.
