SAN JOSE (CBS SF) — An elderly couple was tied up while several intruders ransacked their San Jose home on Monday evening, police said Tuesday.
The home invasion robbery occurred about 6:50 p.m. in the 6700 block of Bret Harte Drive in the city’s Almaden Valley neighborhood.
Police said several male suspects entered the home, brandished weapons and tied up the residents, a 76-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man.
They then stole property from the home and fled in the victims’ cars, which were parked in the garage, police said.
The cars are described as a green 2007 Toyota Highlander with a license plate number of 5XIU520 and a 1997 Toyota Camry with a license plate number of 3UNG960.
The suspects have not been identified and remained at large late Tuesday morning.
Since then, the vehicles have been found (http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_22434883/one-car-stolen-during-san-jose-home-invasion):
SAN JOSE -- Both of the vehicles stolen during a home invasion robbery in the Almaden Valley have been found, one abandoned by Casa de Fruta near Hollister and the other submerged in the Uvas Reservoir, police said.
Investigators have not arrested or identified any suspects in the brazen Monday robbery during which two or three men waving knives tied up an older couple, ransacked their home near Leland High School and stole their two cars.
One of the cars -- a tan 1997 Toyota Camry -- was found ditched in the area of Highways 101 and 152 near Casa de Fruta, according to police.
The other vehicle stolen from the home in the 6700 block of Bret Harte Drive, a 2007 Toyota Highlander, was found on Wednesday and pulled out of the reservoir, in a rural area to west of San Martin.
And one of the suspects has been found (http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_22442751/source-police-arrest-one-suspect-san-jose-home?IADID=Search-www.mercurynews.com-www.mercurynews.com).
This sucks because I live very close to where this happened. Almaden used to be thought of as a relatively safe neighbourhood, but I guess now things are changing, for the worse.
