Daytime Burglars Target Sun City, West Roseville Homes

Roseville Police are reporting a rash of daytime burglaries in west Roseville neighborhoods between Oct. 10 and Oct. 11.

Between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10, unknown suspects burglarized three Sun City Roseville homes 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.

Oct. 10, officers surrounded the affected neighborhoods for several hours and followed up on leads, but haven't yet located the suspects, according to Roseville Police. The investigation is active and ongoing, and Roseville Police are asking for residents’ help.

Several residents reported suspicious persons and vehicles in west Roseville on Monday, Oct. 10 and Tuesday, Oct. 11 near the burglarized homes.  On the afternoon of Oct. 10, a group of teenagers in a gold Toyota Camry were reported knocking on doors in the Fiddyment Farm area "looking for a lost dog."

The suspicious vehicles reported in the area of the burglaries are:

• A gray Toyota or Honda (usually described as a Toyota Camry) four-door sedan occupied by three males in their 20s
• A gold or tan Toyota Camry occupied by three or four males 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 males in their teens or 20s. The same group could be connected to other recent burglaries in west and northwest Roseville.

Roseville Police are asking residents to be diligent about locking doors and closing garage doors. Police are also asking for residents to be watchful and observant, and to call 911 immediately to report suspicious activity, including anyone going door to door.  If possible, write down the license plate numbers of suspicious vehicles so that officers can investigate.
