Multiple individuals have been arrested in connection with a series of robberies that have targeted Asian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose police announced on Wednesday.
Demario Emmanuel, 20, and Jayonae Glaser, 19, were apprehended last Thursday, April 13, after Michael Pruitt, 21, and Ilyaas Mubarez, 19, were first taken into custody on March 30.
The group are believed to be responsible for at least 15 robberies.
After arresting Pruitt and Mubarez, police recovered stolen property, around $10,000 in cash, illegal firearms and equipment for creating ghost guns.
Emmanuel was subsequently identified as a co-conspirator. He was booked on a $1,000,000 arrest warrant for multiple robberies.
Glaser, identified as Emmanuel’s girlfriend, appears to become involved after allegedly trying to run over officers while being arrested.
Police recovered a loaded handgun with an extended magazine in her car and she was booked on possession of a firearm, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer.
Victims reportedly lost purses and other items in the string of robberies. Police are still determining whether to charge the suspects with hate crimes.
San Jose police also arrested a separate individual.
Lathan Johnson, 38, is also accused of targeting Asian Americans by forcefully removing jewels from their necks between April and August last year.
The East Palo Alto resident allegedly targeted victims across Santa Clara County. He was charged with 14 counts of robbery — including 14 hate crimes — and three counts of bodily injury.

Demario and Jayonae? Hmm.
J-1A.
The Asian community may need to being back the Chang-Sing and Wing-Con for self protection.
It seems there is big trouble in little China.
The usual suspects. Seems like these stories come out hourly. Practice, carry, practice situational awareness and stay the hell away from urban ferals.
Why would they arrest criminals?
It’s probably some sort of mistake.
An Italian and a Frenchman obviously.

The same thing is going on in the Seattle area. I don’t think they really are hate crimes though. In our area the Asians are often the wealthiest folks around, and they are stereotyped (fairly or not) as having nice jewelry and plenty of cash on hand.
Our real estate agent had Chinese clients that would bring suitcases of cash to the house closings! (He would stop in at the bank and give the bank the cash and leave with a cashiers check for his client).
Victims reportedly lost purses and other items in the string of robberies??
They lost them? Or were they stolen?
Did I miss in the article where they mention :assaulted by a black man”, just saying.
If I have to hear “shot by a white man”, then no one ever mentions why this is relevant.
Asians fault for living in MAGA country
