OAKLAND — Two men have been charged in connection with a Nov. 17 robbery in Oakland that fit a pattern of East Bay incidents involving deliberate fender benders, court records show.

The suspect, roommates in Oakland who are both 20 years old, have been charged in connection with one Oakland robbery where the victim was rear-ended, then robbed for about $15,000 in jewelry when he exited the car to exchange information. The incident was similar to other robberies around the East Bay, authorities said.

One of the 20-year-old men was charged with robbery, assault with a firearm, hit and run, and multiple gun charges, including one stemming from his Jan. 6 arrest. The other man was charged with accessory after the fact and receiving stolen property — namely, the jewelry stolen from the victim, records show.

The man charged with robbery has a prior conviction for negligent discharge of a firearm, according to the criminal complaint. They have both pleaded not guilty.
