Bellevue police are investigating after a woman who works at a casino was followed home and robbed at gunpoint.
The brutal home invasion appears to have been a planned attack. The woman’s adult son was also asleep when the robbers stormed into the apartment in Bellevue’s Factoria section along Southeast 40th Place.
Jason Hoang was at home at the time of the robbery around 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday and says he was held at gunpoint along with his mother.
“I just woke up and they pointed a gun at my face,” he recalled.
Jason says he woke up to a nightmarish situation when armed men stormed his apartment after following his mother home from her job at a casino.
“She just got out of the car and then they just point guns at her and stuff,” he said.
Doorbell camera footage from a ground unit at the Sunset Village apartments video appears to show the men accosting Jason’s mother and then going up to their unit, where they took money and watches from the apartment.
Jason said they appeared to him to be heavily armed with what appeared to be AK-style rifles.
