Fake Police Officers Commit Home Invasion in San Gabriel, Steal $20,000 and Guns
I still can’t wrap my head around how bold this robbery was. Imagine waking up at 5 a.m. to two people at your door, claiming they’re police officers with a warrant—only to realize they’re not cops at all. That’s exactly what happened on Ramona Street in San Gabriel on October 23.
From what I’ve gathered, the suspects didn’t just bluff their way inside—they fully committed to the act, using fake badges and a supposed search warrant to gain access. Once inside, they didn’t waste time: two guns and roughly $20,000 in cash were gone before anyone could react. And as if that wasn’t daring enough, they made their escape in two vehicles—a white Mercedes-Benz and a black Jeep.
Police have already arrested one of the suspects, recovering a fake agent badge and ID card, but the second suspect is still out there. It’s the kind of story that makes you double-check your own doors and wonder how easily someone could exploit trust in uniforms…
