Three men suspected of robbing a San Jose family at gunpoint in August have been arrested, police said Monday, NBC Bay Area reported.
On Aug. 7, just after 10:30 a.m., a family of three — two parents and a child — arrived at their East San Jose home and parked in their driveway when they were approached by two men, police said. The assailants drew guns and stole the family's jewelry and personal belongings, then fled in a vehicle. Investigators identified the vehicle with license plate readers and identified some suspects.
Arrested were Dennis Jackson, 19, located in Stockton on Oct. 22; Charles Gaston, 30, located in Sacramento on Oct. 22; and Richard Burton, 32, arrested in Tracy on Oct. 26. Detectives also executed search warrants at the suspects' residences. All three were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of robbery, police said. The case is separate from a previously reported Santana Row hotel robbery.
