Police Arrest Man Linked to Car Break-Ins at Roseville Trailheads

Police arrested a 30-year-old Carmichael man who they believe may be linked to several vehicle burglaries at Roseville park trailheads recently. 

Around 8:30 a.m. April 8, a Roseville patrol officer noticed someone sitting in a parked car in the Miner's Ravine trailhead parking lot off of Sierra College Boulevard. The suspect's car was parked very close to an unoccupied parked car, according to Roseville Police. 

The officer contacted the suspect and searched his vehicle; the officer found suspected stolen property and a spool of copper wire. The officer also found that the suspect was on post-release community supervision parole. 

During the investigation, officers connected the Carmichael man to two car break-ins on March 27 at another trail entrance on Orvietto Drive. Police believe he may be connected to other vehicle burglaries at trailheads. 

Police have noticed a trend of car break-ins at park trailheads recently. A woman had two purses from her vehicle parked near the Miner's Ravine trailhead on North Sunrise Avenue April 7. 

The 30-year-old Carmichael man was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possessing stolen property and other related charges.
