They were targeting Asians
Two or three suspicious cars trolled the street at night while my friend and I (Asian females, late 20s, early 30s) were taking a walk. One car stopped from afar and the driver (man) got out began yelling, another (man, 20-40 years old) stopped us on the street and asked if we lived here. As we approached my friend’s house, two young boys came up to us. One pointed a gun with a laser at our heads and demanded us to hand everything over. They took phones and keys and a bag. The police told us that this had been happening all day (perhaps for a while), and they were targeting Asians because they tended to be richer, have more cash on hand, less likely to report the incidents, and less likely to fight back.
