disturbing crimes that have rocked the bay area, leaving victims feeling helpless. >> i feel like the criminal justice system is failing in california, and it's this is a symptom of it. >> many of the crimes caught on camera, with law enforcement working to find justice. >> the person who did this should be held accountable. >> this is crime files with henry lee. hello, i'm henry lee, and welcome to crime files. here in the bay area, there's been no shortage of crime, which has had devastating effects on victims. over the next half hour, we'll take a look at some of the cases that have made headlines here on ktvu. many were heartbreaking and captured on video. we begin with a wild sideshow in vallejo, but this was no ordinary sideshow involving just reckless drivers and others egging them on. this time, an innocent motorist trying to pass through a sideshow in february ended up getting attacked. video shows this white gmc pickup truck crashing into a ford mustang while trying to get through a sideshow in vallejo. that's when

things get ugly. the crowd gets angry and surrounds the truck, beating the driver, shooting at him, and stomping on his windshield near springs and rollingwood. in this video, you can see the driver wearing an orange shirt running from his truck, but it wasn't over yet. the man in orange runs into the 7-eleven at the corner and is chased by the crowd, and again attacked inside the store. some in the crowd then loot the 7-eleven of everything from cigarettes and candy to lotto scratchers and beer. >> hey. what's up? let me get my cheetos. >> at one point, someone set the victim's truck on fire. vallejo police arrived and saw many sideshow participants taking off and running red lights. the truck continued to burn. big t works at a pawn shop at the corner, which was covered with tire marks. >> yeah, he's just an innocent person trying to get to wherever he's going, and then he gets victimized and sideshows are. all they do is just, you know, disrupt everybody and they're dangerous and people get hurt. >> tom davis lives nearby. >> of course we're frustrated. we're angry. you don't see the police. you never see the police. the only time you see

the police is 30, 40 minutes later, after. after whatever happens. >> vallejo mayor robert mcconnell says those caught spinning donuts should have their licenses revoked and face stiffer penalties beyond having their cars impounded for 30 days. >> i believe it should be much longer. i would like to see 90 days, so they're just making a mockery of everybody else. >> no arrests have been reported in the attack after other sideshows. vallejo police and other law enforcement have made arrests and seized cars after the fact, sometimes months later, with registered owners on the hook for storage and tow fees. home invasions have also been a regional issue, especially with armed suspects following victims home from one city to another. that was the case in march, when a woman was confronted on her driveway in alamo. surveillance video shows a 61 year old woman pulling her mercedes g-wagon into her garage in alamo. about a minute later, this lexus is350 slowly backs into her driveway. the woman thought she knew them at first, and when i realized i didn't recognize
