Redwood City Police Detective Ed Feeney and San Jose Police Sgt. John McElvy are seeking information about the identity of the suspects in two jewelry store robberies.
The best video comes from the robbery of Faby’s Jewelry Store in Redwood City. On 2/1/2008, at approximately 5:32 PM, an armed take over robbery occurred at the store on the El Camino Real. The two primary suspects entered the store together and posed as customers. One was armed with a handgun and the other was armed with a butcher knife. A third, and then fourth suspect entered the store. There were no injuries as a result of this robbery. When leaving, the fourth suspect is left behind and locked in. A store employee has to “buzz” him out.
Its believed that two of the suspects in the Redwood City Robbery also committed an armed robbery of a jewelry store in San Jose. On 1/9/2008, two men entered the Joyeria Del Sol on Meridan Avenue. The first suspect held a knife to the manager’s throat and tied him up with shoelaces. The second suspect removed a large amount of jewelry and cash. A surveillance camera from an adjacent business captured both suspects as they walked by. The descriptions match the first two suspects of the robbery of Faby’s in Redwood City.
