“Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Deputies in North Richmond are trying get a handle on a rash of muggings in which the criminals appear to be targeting Latinos.

Records show Latino men walking alone were the victims in almost every reported mugging in Richmond to this point in 2006.

“We determined that that seemed to be a pattern, that the robbers were targeting Hispanic or non-English speaking citizens,” Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Sammy Smith Jr. told KCBS Reporter Henry Mulak. “This made it very difficult for us to start an investigation, because there was a language barrier.”"
