Mayor Gene Wisner has proposed that the city offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to the capture of a band of Asian youths who stormed into a home, bound and assaulted family members and fled with jewelry.
On Sept. 14, members of a middle-class Chinese family were bound with duct tape while the teen-agers took their jewelry. The mother of the family was pistol-whipped, leaving her with facial cuts, a black eye and a broken hand. Brea officers, who patrol Yorba Linda, said that although the family is Chinese, the intrusion resembles home invasions that have plagued the county's Vietnamese community.
