San Jose Police Investigate Second Major Crime at Valley Fair Mall in Six Weeks
A brazen robbery at the Valley Fair mall in San Jose has left shoppers on high alert, just six weeks after a gang-related shooting occurred at the same location. On Sunday afternoon, three men with ski masks and hammers entered Macy's, smashing cases to steal expensive watches and leaving broken glass and signs for Rolex watches behind.
The incident sent shockwaves through the community, with many customers and visitors expressing fear and concern for their safety. "I would've been terrified" said Raphaela Renner, who witnessed the robbery. "It makes me feel a bit more alert when I come to the mall from now on."
Renner's sentiments were echoed by SJPD Public Information Representative Stacie Shih, who emphasized the importance of public safety and encouraging people to report any information that may aid in the investigation. "We do appreciate people coming forward with witness statements and providing evidence that supports our case," she said.
The suspects are still at large, but police are working tirelessly to identify them. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the SJPD.
This incident marks the second major crime to occur at Valley Fair in recent weeks, following a gang-related shooting on Black Friday. The shootings have raised concerns about safety and security at the mall, which has been a popular destination for families and shoppers since the 1980s.
The Valley Fair mall is a beloved institution in San Jose, but it's clear that the recent crimes have had a lasting impact on its reputation. As one shopper aptly put it, "It makes me feel a little more uncomfortable" when visiting the mall.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation. The safety of shoppers is paramount, and authorities will continue to work to ensure that all those who visit the Valley Fair mall feel secure and protected.

need better security measures for places like valley fair mall, especially since they've had 2 major crimes in one month... it's just too many 
! like 2 major crimes at valley fair in like 6 weeks?? thats not safe at all 
anyone got info?? hit up the SJPD ASAP 
so the second crime at valley fair just 6 weeks after the other one... what's going on? I mean i know crime rates can fluctuate but 2 major incidents in such a short span is something else. 
. I've been to Valley Fair like 5 times this year alone and I always felt safe 
. Now, I'm not sure if I'll be back there anytime soon 
and investigating, so fingers crossed they catch those suspects ASAP 
. Can't help but wonder what's causing all these robberies tho... is it a bigger problem than we think?
