FREMONT, Calif. - Padmanabha Kotareddy, 84, is recovering after he was robbed of his gold jewelry Wednesday while out for a morning walk in Fremont.
Police said he is one of four victims thieves stole from in a series of jewelry snatching robberies in the past two weeks. Most of the victims are elderly. The oldest victim is 96 years old.
Police said it is unclear if it is the same suspects in all four cases. The thieves only stole gold jewelry.
"This chain they wanted to remove," said Kotareddy. "I caught it."
