Robbery suspects were arrested after trying to hide in a jewelry store

Police arrested a group of young men around 5 p.m. Tuesday for allegedly attacking and attempting to rob a pedestrian near Angie's Jewelry Store at 2386 Mission St. near 20th Street. It is unclear how many men were arrested, but there appeared to be around five men.

The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries around 6:30 p.m

According to several companies, the suspects allegedly attacked the victim and then ran into the jewelry store. A jewelry store employee said a few men ran into his store. He thought they were customers until police surrounded the area and arrested the suspects.

At least four police SUVs were parked on Mission Street. Pedestrians watched from the bus stop on the east side of the street as officers arrested several young men.

A community member standing outside Milagros de Mexico, a store on the corner of where the alleged crime occurred, said he heard that a group of “bandits” tried to attack a man and give him the necklace steal. He and others estimated that five young men were arrested, but this could not be confirmed.

Police spoke to the alleged victim on the sidewalk, who appeared frightened but cooperative. Businesses in the area were closed shortly after the incident.
