The boy was arrested in the Sept. 2 robbery but it is unclear whether he’s been charged; juvenile charging records are typically filed confidentially. Police say he was arrested after they tracked the suspect’s car with license plate readers and identified it as belonging to a 25-year-old Oakland woman.
The victim, a man, was robbed around 6:30 p.m. at the San Leandro Marina by a person carrying a gun, authorities said. When police tracked down the Oakland woman, they learned she’d been the reported victim of a domestic violence incident in San Leandro involving her boyfriend, whom she identified as a 20-year-old man, authorities said.
