San Leandro Police in Search of Three Suspects from Home Invasion Robbery

By San Leandro Police Dept. — At around 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 25, the San Leandro Police Communications Center received a call of a home invasion robbery in the 1500 block of Arena St.

Upon the arrival of SLPD personnel, it was learned that three suspects approached the victim outside of his residence while he was standing in his driveway.

The suspects were described as the following:

• Suspect #1: Black male adult, dark clothing, 20 years old, 160-170 lbs., armed with a black handgun.

• Suspect #2: Black male adult, dark clothing, thin build, dreadlock hair style, armed with a machine gun-style weapon.

• Suspect #3: Black male adult. Suspect vehicle: light-colored four-door sedan.

One suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and all three suspects had the victim take them into his house, which was occupied with his wife and two children.

The suspects ransacked the house, taking various items of jewelry, cash and cell phones. One of the suspects attempted to place the male victim in handcuffs while holding the family hostage at gunpoint.

All three suspects fled the house on foot and possibly got into the listed suspect vehicle.

“These are violent individuals armed with weapons," said Lt. Jeff Tudor. "We ask for the public’s help to bring this suspect to justice for their egregious criminal behavior."

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Det. Sgt. Ted Henderson at 510-577-3237.
