Four men were arrested by San Jose police on suspicion of a violent carjacking that occurred last week, the department said.

On Sept. 18 at about 11:16 a.m., officers responded to a report of a carjacking in the area of Las Plumas Avenue and Marburg Way.

According to investigators, four men got out of car and approached a man in his vehicle. One of the suspects pulled out a gun and demanded the victim hand over his car key. The suspects then violently assaulted the man and took his key by force. The suspects fled in the vehicle they came in, plus the victim's car.

Using license plate readers, the suspects were located and tracked. A vehicle stop was initiated and four men were arrested -- Hugo Velazquez-Pena, 32, Omar Macedo-Topete, 20, Jonathan De La Cruz, 33 and Victor De La Cruz, 37.
