Police in San Jose announced the arrests of seven people in connection with a violent smash-and-grab in which an 88-year-old jewelry store owner was brutally attacked.

At a briefing on Friday, assistant police chief Brian Shab announced the results of an investigation into the Sep. 5 robbery at Kim Hung Jewelry on Aborn Road .

"From the very moment these cowards fled Kim Hung Jewelry, we have not stopped," Shab said. "And today, that persistence has delivered results."
