Driver used Amazon delivery truck to steal e-bikes in Marin County: sheriff The incident took place in Oakland's uptown district, near where First Fridays takes place. Oakland First Friday issued a statement: "Oakland First Fridays takes place from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM along Telegraph Avenue between 22nd and 27th Street in the KONO District. We want to be clear that we have no direct knowledge of the incident you’re referencing. Based on the details provided, the incident occurred outside of both our permitted event footprint and our hours of operation. This month’s Oakland First Fridays event was a positive and well-attended celebration of Oakland’s 174th Birthday. We were honored to have the Mayor in attendance, along with several members of the City Council and other community leaders. We do want to emphasize an ongoing concern: incidents that occur in the broader Uptown/Downtown area, especially outside of our event boundaries and hours, are often incorrectly attributed to Oakland First Fridays. It’s important to distinguish between “Oakland First Fridays,” which is a permitted, organized community event, and a general “First Friday in Oakland,” which can refer to unrelated activity happening throughout the city."
