A harrowing home invasion robbery on the 2400 block of Morning Glory Drive has left one Stockton family shaken, with the suspects going as far as holding them at gunpoint, including their own relative. The incident took place just before 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 27.
Zakia Kamran, the matriarch of the family, recounted the terrifying ordeal where one of the robbers pointed a gun at her four-year-old's head and threatened to harm her if they didn't comply. Zakia was startled to recognize one of the intruders as her 20-year-old nephew, whom she initially mistook for a visitor before the horrifying situation unfolded.
Her children, ranging in ages from four to 21, also recognized the robber as their cousin, further adding to the distressing nature of the incident. The robbers demanded money from their safe, destroying their cell phones to prevent them from seeking help and issuing threats of violence.
Fortunately, no shots were fired, and the family was physically unharmed. Aamar Kamran, the father of the family, expressed relief that his family was safe, though the emotional scars remain. This incident is not the first time their nephew has been involved in theft from them or other relatives, further complicating the family's feelings about the ordeal.
Stockton police are actively investigating the case but have made no arrests yet and have not determined a motive. The family hopes that the relative involved will be apprehended soon, bringing them some peace of mind. However, the traumatic experience has left the children terrified, and the parents are considering seeking psychological support for the family to aid in their recovery.
In the aftermath of this shocking event, the family has taken extra precautions by changing all the locks on their home. They also revealed that they had considered emptying their safe just days before the robbery, but now believe that doing so might have led to a far worse outcome.
The Kamran family's sense of security has been shattered, and they are now contemplating moving away from Stockton as they try to heal from this distressing incident. The emotional impact of such a traumatic event is profound, and their journey to recovery will undoubtedly be challenging. The community stands in solidarity with them during this difficult time, hoping for justice and healing for the Kamran family.
