A suspect involved in a series of recent violent home invasion robberies targeting Asians in Kent –including an incident where a young child was held at gunpoint – will remain in custody on a bail of $1 million, according to court documents.

The defendant, Alhusaine Drammeh, is accused of the following crime[s]: Attempted Burglary In The First Degree, Burglary In The First Degree, Unlawful Imprisonment. He appeared in court for a probable cause certification hearing on Monday Oct. 30, 2023.

The State requested that bail set during the defendant’s initial appearance hearing be maintained.

In the harrowing incidents detailed in the court documents, the defendant and several co-defendants allegedly stormed into occupied residences brandishing firearms (read our previous coverage here).

During the robberies, the victims were forced to lie on the ground while the armed intruders aimed their weapons at them. Shockingly, a five-year-old boy was also held at gunpoint while the suspects ransacked the victims’ personal belongings.

The court documents further reveal that at one point during the ordeal, the defendant and his accomplices warned a victim to “tell the baby not to cry” as they carried out the robbery.

Here are more details from court documents:
