UPDATE: Oakland police reversed course Thursday, saying no arrests had been made in the high-profile attempted robbery of a nanny pushing a 15-month-old girl in a stroller, who was struck by flying bullet shrapnel.
Deputy Chief James Beere on Wednesday told the crowd at a meeting at the Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church that an arrest had been made, acknowledging more investigation was needed. At another point in the meeting, Beere also said that "multiple individuals" had been arrested after undercover officers found a gun that matched the caliber of the bullet that was fired.
It's unclear where the source of the arrest mix-up began and why the misinformation was announced at the meeting. On Thursday, a police department spokesperson told KTVU that no suspects had been arrested but did not elaborate on why Beere said otherwise at the meeting. The crowd cheered and clapped at the news, but now it is unclear how close police are to finding the person or people responsible for Tuesday's brazen attempted robbery on Trestle Glen Road, where suspects tried to grab a nanny's purse and then fired a bullet, which struck the ground hitting the little girl with shrapnel.
After the attempted robbery, the nanny spoke to KTVU. She was not injured despite not giving the robbers her purse.
