Four alleged members of a sophisticated burglary crew that targeted homes in multiple Bay Area cities have been arrested after an investigation involving several law enforcement agencies.
San Jose police said that on Dec. 29, 2023, detectives began investigating a series of home invasions and residential burglaries in the city. After consulting with other Bay Area police agencies, it was determined the same suspects were connected to residential burglaries in other cities including San Bruno, Fremont, Milpitas, and Union City.
Police said during the burglaries and home invasion robberies, the suspects took jewelry and high-end watches, purses, large amounts of cash, and several firearms. In addition, the suspects used a WiFi jamming device to disrupt home security camera signals.
San Jose police robbery detectives along with the Fremont police detectives, identified the suspects as Oakland residents Dejaun Mabon, 35; Maurice Barrow, 38; Shawn Wyatt, 35; and Lawrence Barton, 37.
