Three girls and six boys, ranging in age from 12 to 17, were arrested for nearly three dozen robberies that officials with the Oakland Police Department say have terrorized the community.

Robberies citywide have increased 7% this year compared with the same period last year and authorities say they are alarmed and dismayed to see more juveniles involved in crime.

Earlier this month, Oakland saw 100 robberies in one week, including 50 over a weekend. Some of the robberies have included carjackings, shootings and other assaults, said Interim Police Chief Darren Allison at a news conference Wednesday with the mayor.
