Police Search for Suspect Involved in 2 Residential Burglaries

Roseville Police are looking for a suspect who they believe is involved in two related burglaries reported in the Junction West neighborhood.

Sometime before 11:30 p.m. May 19, someone went into a house in the 1600 block of Bottlebrush Circle through an unlocked rear sliding door while the residents were gone, and took a laptop computer. 

Then, at 11:30 p.m. officers responded to a burglary in progress at a home in the 1500 block of Derrylin, near Bottlebrush Circle. The residents heard noises in their backyard and saw a male standing on their patio awning, trying to get into a second-story window.

The male fled without getting in or taking anything. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. The laptop stolen from Bottlebrush was found in the backyard of the house on Derrylin, so it appears the suspect first went into the house on Bottlebrush, then went to the house on Derrylin, where he was scared off, according to Roseville Police.

The suspect was described as a possibly intoxicated white male in his early 20s, 5'9" tall and 170 pounds, with short brown hair and possibly a tattoo on his chest.  He may have left the area in a white full-size pickup with a white camper shell.

Monday, April 30

Garage burglary —Overnight on April 30/May 1, someone went into the garage of a home in the 1600 block of Ashford Drive and took bicycles and power tools.  There was no sign of forced entry, and the resident may have inadvertently left the garage unlocked.

Thursday, May 3

Attempted burglary —Between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on May 3, someone forced open a screen door and tried to pry open a sliding glass door in the back of a home in the 1600 block of Loon Lake Street.  Fortunately no one got into the house and nothing was taken.  Neighbors remembered seeing (from a distance) what appeared to be a solicitor in the neighborhood during the day, wearing a dark cap, white shirt and dark pants, carrying a clipboard.

Friday, May 4

Attempted burglary — Between 7:15 and 8:30 p.m. on May 4, someone forced open the side door of a garage in the 3100 block of Hopscotch Way.  Fortunately it didn't appear that anything inside the garage was disturbed.  A neighbor remembered seeing a suspicious vehicle in the area during the time the incident happened.  It was a dark green late-90s model Toyota Camry with two females in the front seat and a male in the backseat.  The vehicle wasn't known to the neighborhood, and was being driven very slowly up and down the street.

Saturday, May 5

Shed burglary — At 12:10 a.m. May 5, a resident of the 200 block of Fourth Street reported that someone had just taken his push lawnmower from his unsecured shed and pushed it up the street.  An officer followed up on a lead the next day and arrested an 18-year-old male from Roseville on suspicion of possessing stolen property and conspiracy.  The lawnmower was returned to the victim.
