Police Arrest Teens Suspected in Months-Long Violent Crime Spree Including Burglaries, Vehicle Thefts, and Assault

Police in San Jose on Tuesday announced the arrests of several teens suspected in what they described as a violent crime spree that included burglaries, vehicle thefts, assault and attempted carjackings.

According to a statement from officers, one group of teens was arrested following an incident in March, while three additional teens were arrested last week, following an investigation that began late last year.

Police said suspects would commit armed vehicle thefts and would use the stolen vehicles to break into businesses, either by ramming the vehicles into storefronts or using a chain to rip off the doors. The suspects would then steal items and flee in the stolen vehicles.
