SAN FRANCISCO A reporter for a local news station in San Francisco was robbed at gun point last week while filming a television segment on crime taking place inside the city. The segment came in response to residents complaining that vehicle burglaries have been increasing near a city landmark ever since the early days of the pandemic when local officials closed the road that was used to access the area’s vista point.
“On Wednesday afternoon, the smash-and-grabs turned into armed robbery,” CBS San Francisco reported. “KPIX 5 reporter Don Ford was on the story Tuesday and again on Wednesday, and was preparing to interview nearby homeowners when a white luxury sedan with four men inside pulled up.”

A journalist reporting at a crime spree scene in San Francisco became the subject of his own story.
KPIX correspondent Don Ford was about to interview homeowners near the natural landmark known as Twin Peaks regarding a rash of vehicle break-ins when a sedan with four men screeched to a halt and demanded his camera Wednesday afternoon.
“My whole thought at the moment was be calm,” explained Ford in a report for the TV station. “Let’s not get this guy excited. He’s got the gun. I don’t. So you take the camera. It’s yours, buddy.”
