SAN FRANCISCO - A foreign news crew covering the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco was allegedly robbed while working.
Journalists from a Czech Republic public television, who were in the Bay Area on assignment, were robbed of some of their equipment on Sunday evening while recording near the famed City Lights bookstore, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed it is investigating an armed robbery of a production team at 4:56 p.m. in the area of Broadway and Columbus Avenue.
According to officers, a vehicle stopped on the street, and three armed men with firearms exited the car and approached the group. The suspects demanded their production equipment, and the victims complied.
The suspects returned to their vehicle and fled, police said.
While the police department did not confirm that the victims were journalists, reporter Bohumil Vostal of Czech television station ČT24 said he was among those robbed.

Welcome to a Democrat-run city
They don’t accept Czechs.
Shocker-——the SFPD is actually investigating a crime.
The suspects returned to their vehicle and fled, police said. While the police department did not confirm that the victims were journalists, reporter Bohumil Vostal of Czech television station ČT24 said he was among those robbed.
Perhaps some idiots in SF are starting to rethink their defund-the-police policy. They might also reconsider the non-prosecution by their local courts.
What a lovely thing to use to promote your city to foreign travelers - LOL
They thought they were in the US
Ding..Ding..Ding..Ding! We have a winner!
Welcome to America!
The Czechs got cancelled.
🤦♂️👌...........................
That crime occurred at Columbus and Broadway in North Beach which is—or was—a popular tourist area that was considered safe. There are—or were—many Italian restaurants in the area and Chinatown is close by.
Welcome to Democrat held Territory they also created of ISIS
You can clean out the garbage on the streets but you can’t get rid of the criminals that roam those streets.
Three suspects. Must be the same three from Georgetown that the SS shot at.
No film at 11:00
Columbus and Broadway, North Beach meets Chinatown, what a great area. Lived there a couple of years. Gino and Carlos with signed Sinatra picture, The Saloon, pre civil war bar with great music. Washington Square Bar and Grill, The Stinking Rose(they sell food with their garlic). What a neighborhood.
They should have left the filthy homeless encampments up as well, that would have made great reporting to the “folks back home.”
Hope they stick around, those homeless encampments are sure to return the moment Xi is back on his private jet.
they got the whole SF Experience...
