The customer left, returned with a firearm and robbed him of the $30,000, police said.
The entire robbery was caught on security cameras, which helped them identify a 25-year-old suspect, police said. He was arrested at his Oakland home and charged on July 3 with one count of second-degree robbery and several counts of gun possession.
The man reportedly told police that he used a fake gun to rob the victim, and claimed the money he got away with was $5,000, significantly lower than the victim’s estimate. He remains jailed in lieu of $230,000 bail and is next due in court on Aug. 6, records show.
