San Jose, California police have arrested the second of two men wanted for the May 4 home invasion and armed robbery of a private poker game. 39-year-old Nicholas Boyd (center photo, above), was arrested last week after authorities located his whereabouts at a house in San Jose.

Boyd, along with Ankhkoa Ledo (photo at left, above), who was arrested in May, are accused of robbing what police described as a large poker game in the Hellyer neighborhood of San Jose's far southeast side.

According to a police statement, "Over 10 victims were inside of the residence playing poker, when two armed masked suspects smashed the rear sliding door and entered the residence. The suspect made the victims get on the floor and demanded money. One suspect struck a victim in the head with a firearm. The suspects forced one of the victims to retrieve money from a bedroom. The suspects fled the scene with stolen property and over $30,000 in cash. Officers arrived quickly and were able to contain at least one suspect.

"With the use of a police canine, suspect Ledo was taken into custody," the statement continued. "A search of the area yielded some of the stolen property and one of the firearms used in the incident."
