The first incident happened on Aug. 26 at a business in the 800 block of Blossom Hill Road, San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release Thursday. A man armed with a gun demanded money from a clerk but left empty-handed.
Detectives identified the suspect and linked him to five other armed robberies, according to Shih.
Shih said those incidents happened on Dec. 7 in the 400 block of Blossom Hill Road, Dec. 16 in the 7100 block of Santa Teresa Boulevard, Dec. 26 in the 1200 block of North 1st Street, Jan. 2 in the 700 block of North King Road and Feb. 26 in the 600 block of North 4th Street.
The string of robberies netted the suspect more than $3,000 in cash, according to Shih.
Detectives obtained a warrant for the suspect’s arrest. On March 19, he was taken into custody in San Jose and booked into Santa Clara County jail on armed robbery charges.
