Several Burglaries Reported In Roseville
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) -- Several homes were hit by burglars in Roseville the past two days, according to police.
Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., suspects burglarized four homes, three in the 55-and-over Sun City Roseville senior community and one in the Longmeadow Village area north of Blue Oaks Boulevard. Placer County Sheriff's deputies responded to two burglaries in the Morgan Creek area west of Roseville during the same time frame.
Several residents reported suspicious persons and vehicles in west Roseville on Monday and Tuesday near the burglarized homes. On Monday afternoon, a group of teenagers in a gold Toyota Camry were reported knocking on doors in the Fiddyment Farm area "looking for a lost dog," police said.
The burglars are knocking on doors to see if residents are home, and if they're not, they're going around the back to break in.
The suspicious vehicles reported in the area of the burglaries were:
- A gray Toyota or Honda (usually described as a Toyota Camry) four-door sedan occupied by three men believed to be in their 20s
- A gold or tan Toyota Camry occupied by three or four males believed to be in their teens
- Other suspicious vehicles were reported that might or might not have been connected to the group: a dark blue or purple full-size pickup, and a blue mid-sized sedan.
- The suspects were reported as black and white men in their teens or 20s.
The same group could be connected to other recent burglaries in west and northwest Roseville.
Officers patrolled the neighborhoods Tuesday for several hours and followed up on leads, but didn't locate any of the suspects. The investigation is active and ongoing.
Police are asking residents to be diligent about locking doors and closing garage doors. Residents are also asked to call 911 immediately to report suspicious activity.
