San Jose police have arrested three men in the Aug. 7 armed robbery of a family of three in their driveway in east San Jose, according to a San Jose Police Department news release issued Monday. All three were booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail for robbery.
Police said two adults and a child had just parked at home about 10:31 p.m. when two men with guns approached them and took their jewelry and other belongings. The two men drove off before officers arrived.
Robbery detectives used automated license plate reader data, from cameras that record passing plates, to identify the car and then the suspects, the release says. A 19-year-old Stockton man and a 30-year-old Sacramento man were arrested Oct. 22 in their home cities. A 32-year-old Tracy man was arrested Oct. 26 in Tracy. The department’s Covert Response Unit helped with the arrests.
The release does not say whether prosecutors have filed charges. Police ask anyone with information to call the Robbery Unit at 408-277-4166 or leave an anonymous tip at (408) 947-STOP.
