Officers from the Emeryville Police Department responded to a take-over robbery at the Oakland Emeryville Target on Saturday, September 2nd at 12:07 a.m.

The robbery occurred shortly after their midnight closing and it was not reported if there were any customers in the store at the time of the robbery.

Three masked men entered the store and told everyone to get on the floor. At least two of the suspects were armed. One was armed with a handgun and the other with a rifle. The suspects took money from the cash drawer.


The suspects fled in an unknown make and model four door silver sedan. The amount of the loss is unknown at this time.
