SAN JOSE – Three men were arrested last week on suspicion of robbing a woman at gunpoint in San Jose, police said.
The incident happened outside a residence around 2:45 a.m. on Jan. 21, San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release. Police did not disclose the address.
The suspects followed the victim home from work, and while she was sitting in her driveway, two of them approached her vehicle and broke the windows, Shih said.
One of the suspects brandished a firearm and demanded the victim’s purse, Shih said. She handed over a bag that was in her possession and the suspects left the area.
Detectives launched an investigation and identified the suspects as a 20-year-old Oakland man, a 20-year-old Hayward man and a 21-year-old Oakland man, Shih said.
Arrest and search warrants were issued for the suspects. On Feb. 19, the men were arrested in Oakland and booked into Santa Clara County jail on armed robbery charges.
