SAN JOSE \u2014 Two teenage boys were arrested last week in connection with a robbery over the summer in East San Jose, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 5:30 a.m. on July 30, San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release.<\/p>\n
The victim saw a suspect break into his vehicle and went to confront him, Shih said, adding that the suspect in turn brandished a firearm and pistol-whipped the victim.<\/p>\n
Shih said the suspect then stole items from the victim\u2019s vehicle and left the area in a vehicle driven by another suspect.<\/p>\n
The victim was treated at the scene for his injuries.<\/p>\n
Using automated license plate reader technology, detectives identified the suspect vehicle, which was discovered to have been stolen, Shih said. The suspects were also identified as a 17-year-old resident of Castro Valley and a 16-year-old resident of Oakland.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 14, both boys were arrested on suspicion of robbery and booked into Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.<\/p>\n
Shih said detectives searched the homes of the suspects and found evidence related to the crime.<\/p>\n
