"San Jose police arrested two more people in the brazen robbery of a San Jose jewelry store that made international headlines earlier this year. Officers arrested the 19-year-old men in mid-November and early December, bringing the number of people jailed in the high-profile smash-and-grab to 15, according to the San Jose Police Department, which announced the arrests Monday. The latest arrests include Jamieon Miller, of Tracy, who is suspected of assaulting the jewelry store's 88-year-old owner, San Jose police said."
"The heist, which was partially captured on video, happened around 2 p.m., when a group of robbers stormed the store, with one driving a car through the storefront on Aborn Road in East San Jose. More than a dozen others immediately flooded the shattered entrance, pillaging the place breaking display cases and grabbing thousands of dollars in jewelry. In the process, one robber violently shoved the store's octogenarian owner to the ground, police said, leaving him bloodied and lacerated from numerous shards of glass."
San Jose police arrested two additional suspects in November and December, increasing the number jailed in the Kim Hung Jewelry smash-and-grab to 15. The arrestees include 19-year-old Jamieon Miller of Tracy, accused of assaulting the store's 88-year-old owner, and Wesley Miller. The Sept. 5 heist began when a car drove through the Aborn Road storefront; dozens broke display cases and stole thousands in jewelry. One robber shoved the elderly owner to the ground, leaving him bloodied; doctors later linked a stroke and a heart attack to the robbery. At least one assailant held a gun to another person's head. Police vowed to arrest all involved and help small businesses recover.
