number of stores that are boarded up, but there's still showing up. there's still shopping and we are still there. we have. are police officers in those garages as well? the chief of police, saying his office is working with other law enforcement agencies to crack down on mass retail theft. we're going to look at every angle that we can from a regional approach to make sure that we get a handle on this. you know, as far as strategies the main thing we want to do is try to prevent these things from occurring, the chief saying changing traffic patterns around san francisco, including shutting down some streets around major retail areas is one way to prevent these from maneuvering their getaway vehicles in and out during a robbery. he also says it's time to revisit the cities policy of not monitoring live cameras, saying those cameras can provide critical information when it counts. if you can put that information out real time because you have a. the ability to access the cameras and the information. we are able. to broadcast. you know, this description of a vehicle is going in this direction. here's

a license plate numbers. police did manage to arrest nine suspects following friday's mass retail theft in union square, the chief saying many of those arrested had previous interactions with law enforcement. the mayor in chief, agreeing that there needs to be consequences to breaking the law in this case and consistently to deter criminals. we have an issue with people repeatedly doing the same act over and over again. we have to figure that out. and we need to make the arrest. that is that's absolutely must. um we need to work with all parts of this system to make sure that people are held accountable. everybody we're going to come back to our live shot right now and show you the dozen or so protesters that showed up right at four o'clock, just as the district attorney's news conference was set to get away. these protesters calling for chase up boudin to be recalled. so clearly this case not just of interest because of the criminal aspects of it, but of course, the political aspects of it with district attorney routine facing a recall. in

enter that nordstrom store ther. they stole at least $5000 in merchandise and caused $15,000 in damage, and we now know the approximate value of the merchandise stolen at the nordstrom store in walnut creek on saturday night. about 80 people poured out of that store just before it closed carrying stolen items in hand. police now say merchandise value between 102 $100,000 was stolen. three nordstrom employees were hurt. so far, at least only three people have been arrested and dozens more got away. well there was another store looted overnight. this time, a small business in downtown oakland was hit surveillance video shows a group of people storming into the prime 3 56 store here, 14th and webster streets. around 11 20 last night about 40 people broke into that clothing store and grabbed as much as they could before the alarm, finally scared them off. there have been as many there were as many as 15 cars involved. what's the odds

that the mob would actually, like? hit our shop? you know, being a small business, the local who takes care of everyone. um it being our first year writing, um our first year anniversary is like five days away. the owner says the entire business was ransacked, but that they do hope to reopen. oakland police are investigating that owner by the way, tells us this is the second time that his store has been hit. in just the past month. well also in oakland in early morning break in at a cannabis dispensary was captured on video as well. it was among several businesses that were invaded by a roving group of robbers over the weekend are crime reporter henry lee is live now, with the very latest on this case, henry. heather this video probably best captures a lot of the mayhem that kept police police busy in oakland over the weekend. now this breaking at the dispensary actually came after a sideshow right outside, all of it caught on camera. this is surveillance video showing intruders,

looting, blunts and more cannabis dispensary at 66th and coliseum way in east oakland. they broke intohe business just before six sunday morning. kind of like pride up what they could lift it up as far as i can get, and then they. broken in. shop owner tuckey blunt says the invaders had the run of the place for several minutes. they didn't seem to care about the cameras. at least one invader apparently got hurt during the break in. i had blood. in that case over there, i cleaned up in cases. there was blood over there to her fingerprints. nearly a dozen burglars helped themselves to weed products, but some of it was left behind after they were scared away by security. blunt is in oakland native and next felon who's running a business in the same neighborhood where he was once arrested. i was safe for selling weed on the streets of oakland that i am selling illegally, and that's a problem that's crazy to even say, but. that's just the reality. i'm living in right no. he says he wishes he could reach out to the burglars to steer them away from crime. there's a song which other stuff you guys can do. we can teach all how to be in this business legally, instead of you coming to steal from it just to sell it to other

thieves. you know what i mean? it just makes no sense. the unrest actually began with a sideshow with cars doing doughnuts right outside the dispensary. it went on for about 45 minutes. and after about 45 minutes, i guess they realized that the police weren't coming. blunt. some more is right here. let's hop over the gate blunts and more was among several cannabis businesses that were targeted by roving caravans of robbers over the weekend. some fired shots at police and security. police were also kept busy with other side shows across the city because i want to be clear that we're not going to tolerate this type of activity in the city of oakland, we are going to respond. oakland police chief laurent armstrong says officers will be on high alert, especially this saturday and sunday. we will have tactical teams deployed throughout the city. these these individuals that come to the city have been heavily armed from all throughout the bay area. these are not just people from oakland. chief armstrong plans to hold a virtual meeting tomorrow with cannabis owners to discuss ways to improve safely heather from large retailers to the small businesses. it seems no one here is immune, henry. thank you very much. a serial

trains partisan stall these air filters called merv 14, an upgrade from the previous mourvedre filters. part says they're the highest rated filters in use by any transit system in the us, we need to be communicating with our riders. that it's safe from a covid-19 perspective that you can feel safe getting into a bar car. knowing that the air is clean, it's purified and that there's no threat of transmission. when you're in the bart system for bart covid safety is an important selling point as it looks to lure back riders who seem to have abandoned this system in favor of their cars. since the pandemic. we know there are people who used to write bart and are driving right now. and so part of it is just changing those commute patterns. they got into a new rhythm of driving in and we just need to convince him to come try us once before the pandemic more than 400,000 commuters road bart each weekday. now it's less than a third of that at 130,000 daily riders. bart says that ridership

appears to be tied to the number of offices that are requiring employees to leave home. and appear in person. bart ridership is tracking with office occupancy. those that are coming back. they are taking the train, but we still see a lot of traffic, so there's a lot more work to do and winning back. those writers born expects more businesses to open up in januar, and it projects that it will reach 50% of pre pandemic ridership by next summer. but to us that is a success story, which says a lot about the pandemic. that 50% of pre pandemic by next summer would be a success. we asked part when it expects to get back to pre covid numbers. the answer. no one knows. heather alright rob roth reporting live for us there in oakland. rob. thank you. already taking a look at that weather out there temperatures today slightly cooler. we started off with a bit of cloud cover and a little bit of yes, a little bit of cloud cover around the inland areas this morning and then again this afternoon, and that dropped temperatures a few

degrees over where we were yesterday. we did have some seventies yesterday although morgan hill wants to was 72 today 66 in santa rosa 66. in napa. nice day. tomorrow is about the same but a little bit warmer. i think we'll see a couple degrees of warming. i think santa rosa goes up to 69 degrees sound. rafael this up to 66. subtle changes, but nice of, you know, slightly, maybe above average for what you might expect this time of year. the story is that while the weather story the big weather story is pacific northwest british columbia. where they are already have had record setting atmospheric river events, and they're set up for a whole another string of that throughout the next week or so, so they're really going off the charts in terms of rainfall, subtropical moisture that far north that melts the snow causes all sorts of problems up in british columbia, and it'll get worse as we go into the next few days, so as you look at our forecast. you can kind of look at them because you can see we're underneath everything. look, look at that. those plumes going in thousands of miles of tropical moisture hammering

north of seattle now, on friday, it starts to drift south a little bit. temperatures might cool look at that. next look at this next blog going in on saturday in the british columbia, so they are really. up against it, and it just continues. so that's going to be, i think in terms of whether stories i think british columbia could be huge weather story. i mean, in lieu of us having basically nothing to dry conditions with some valley fog. we had a little patchy valley fog early this morning. it was there. it didn't last long. we saw some out towards morocco. we saw some out in the valley. beautiful evening. there's sutro tower off in the distance. you can see an airplane right up here, right? and you just saw this beautiful out there tonight. no coastal farm. without the coastal fog. obviously, the beaches pretty pleasant today, mid sixties low sixties something like that. and as we go into the evening hours, the winds want to pick up now, if this weren't coming off on the heels of so much well, weather if this was november, like couple novembers ago, we would probably see some kind of fire, weather alert and what i'm

going to show you is the model as we go into tonight. there's tuesday at five o'clock about now. and then you go. we're going to take you and see that bullseye just above vacaville there, so that's c level winds in vacaville 40 miles an hour, so that's pretty gusty. that means in the hills you could see 50 55 mile an hour winds. and then the winds die down pretty quickly, so really in that bull's eye if you exist in that bullseye, which concludes a little bit of napa through the early morning hours, you're going to be getting some pretty gusty winds. that's not to mention. that we won't see a little bit around here like mount diablo right now is already going 30 miles an hour or do nor so that north wind is, um, kind of the precursor. right that's the direction this one is going to come from. we'll check these tonight, but i think. by you know, 10 o'clock tonight, mount diablo is gonna be blowing 35 40 miles an hour, so not crazy winds but wind when we come back, we'll look at the complete forecast and get your thanksgiving day figured out. the federal looking forward to it. thank you. charitable groups are now kicking into high gear coming up where volunteers were

busy today and again food boxes ahead of thanksgiving and the holidays are here, which means end of the year. tax planning is close. how you can get ahead

to learn more about cost, reserves in an effort to try to address a spike in gas prices. but will the move help bring down costs and how soon gateways tom vacar talked with an expert and joins us now live tonight in san rafael? tom? the answer is, yes, costs are going to come down and when is reasonably soo, but not just because of what the president did. this is part of a much greater, more complex calculations. mat johnson was singing the tuesday fuel price blues navarro gas station. i can't afford it. you know, i'm on disability of work, part time and self car wash. um it's put

them real hardship on me. relief is coming. 50 million barrels, the largest ever release from the u. s. strategic petroleum reserve. help provide a supply we need as we recover from this pandemic. in the wake of the arab oil embargo of the early 19 seventies, the u. s department of energy set up the strategic petroleum reserve, the world's largest known emergency stockpile of crude oil. currently 605 million barrels. the 50 million barrels from the reserve will take a month to get to the market. according to the white house. it will take time, but before long you should see the price of gas drop where you fill up your tank high school of business energy economist severin borenstein says. it usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks to lead to lower prices at the pump, but this time the savings should come very quickly. the really good news is that oil prices actually topped out about a month ago and have been coming

down since then. and i know that the president is doing everything that they can. it's an international problem. biden announced that china, great britain, india, japan and south korea. will also release some of their reserves to have a greater impact on lowering worldwide crude prices. that's the biggest cost in a gallon of gasoline. the total release could be closer to 100 million barrels, so that would be good. it would have a modest, very modest effect. the mere threat of this last week lowered crude oil prices about 5% but thanks to us production these days, the extra money for gas is largely staying in the u. s not going to opec, the u. s. is almost in balance between the amount of oil we produce in the amount of oil we consume. now every time the price of oil goes down by a dollar, you save 2.5 cents at the pump, so if it goes down $10 a barrel, you saved 25 cents.

hopefully that's the way it will head and keep going. reporting live. tom vacar ktvu fox. two news. hopefully, but bottom lin, tom here it looks like it won't move prices overnight. but as your expert said, it will make a difference. thank you so much, tom. appreciate it indeed. members of congress say the bay area will get an economic boost from the infrastructure bill signed into law last week. ktvu salix savage joins us now he's in our newsroom with how much money will be flowing toward local projects. alex well, juli, it's a big investment here over the next five years, the bay area is set to receive at least $4.5 billion in guaranteed transportation funding. lawmakers say that money will pay to improve roads and mass transit as commute traffic returns to the bay area after the pandemic. here in the bay area. commuters pre pandemic spent 100 and three hours a year stuck in traffic for moving people from home to work to school. for moving products to
