Incident Summary:
On August 12, 2014, at approximately 4:30 a.m., two unknown suspects kicked in the side garage door of a residence on the 600 block of Monticello Terrace in the Mission San Jose District of Fremont. Once inside, the suspects held victims at gunpoint and forced them to empty a safe in the residence. After taking numerous items from the victims, the suspects ordered the victims to stay in the bathroom for approximately 30 minutes, so they could flee the area.
After leaving the residence, the unknown suspects used the victim’s debit card at five different locations throughout the south bay. The suspects began their spree in Cupertino, headed next to San Jose and then ended in Milpitas. A black Ford Fusion was seen dropping off suspect #2 at a Patelco Bank in San Jose about an hour after the robbery.
