Police believe this incident and others are part of a larger crime ring, mainly targeting older Asian Americans. It starts with engaging them in 'friendly' conversation, and ends with a sly robbery the victim isn't even aware of.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A crime ring sweeping California is targeting seniors, often Asian Americans, for thousands of dollars in jewelry. In many cases, the victims don't even realize what's happening, the crimes happen so fast.

It's the same"slight of hand" crime targeting seniors in many parts of the Bay Area, Southern California and Sacramento area. This type of crime is not new, but San Ramon police say it targets the elderly, who need to be especially diligent during the time of the Lunar New Year.
