SJPD Arrests Two Suspects for Home Invasion Robbery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

On May 4, 2023, the San José Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at a residence in the 4000 block of Ambrose Court in San José. Over 10 victims were inside of the residence playing poker, when two armed masked suspects smashed the rear sliding door and entered the residence. The suspect made the victims get on the floor and demanded money. One suspect struck a victim in the head with a firearm. The suspects forced one of the victims to retrieve money from a bedroom. The suspects fled the scene with stolen property and over $30,000 in cash. Officers arrived quickly and were able to contain at least one suspect. With the use of a police canine, suspect Ledo was taken into custody. A search of the area yielded some of the stolen property and one of the firearms used in the incident. 

During the investigation, SJPD Robbery Unit Detectives identified the second suspect as Nicholas Boyd and obtained a warrant for his arrest.  

On July 26, 2023, Officers from the SJPD Covert Response Unit (CRU) located suspect Boyd at a residence in San José. Suspect Boyd refused to come out and barricaded in the residence that was occupied by two children with special needs. During the standoff, the suspect attempted to escape through an attic space and fell into an adjoining neighboring residence. CRU Officers safely evacuated the children from the primary residence and continued to negotiate for Suspect Boyd to surrender. Suspect Boyd eventually exited the neighboring residence and was taken into custody without further incident.
