San Jose police have arrested four Lathrop men in an armed robbery and assault outside a hotel on Santana Row last summer, and are looking for three more suspects.
Why it matters: Detectives used automated license plate reader cameras to identify the suspects' cars and all seven suspects, police told CBS News Bay Area.
What police say happened
Shortly after midnight on July 23, three adults were walking into Hotel Valencia in the 350 block of Santana Row when they got into an altercation with seven men. One suspect showed a gun, two of the victims were assaulted, and the group took the victims' belongings and drove off in several cars.
On Oct. 21, detectives and Santa Clara County task force officers arrested Rahib Hameidi, 33; George Iraola, 22; Juan Guillermo-Silva, 22; and Jesus Correa, 21, all of Lathrop. Searches of their homes turned up four guns. They were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of armed robbery, Bay City News reported.
Still at large are Cristobal Garcia, 21, of Modesto, and Anthony Mendoza, 21, and Ibrahim Farhat, 26, both of Hollister. Anyone with information can reach Detective Leonard of the SJPD robbery unit at 408-277-4166.
