A Rocklin woman's refusal to answer the door to strangers - and her quick phone call to authorities - led to the arrests of two men on suspicion of prowling, police said.
The resident on the 1400 block of Sandhill Drive heard knocking and the door bell ringing at about noon Wednesday, but when she didn't answer, she noticed that three men began peering through her front windows and that one of them headed toward her side yard, said Lt. Lon Milka.
She called 911 and Rocklin officers arrived in time to arrest two of the men as they tried to walk away, Milka said. The third man could not be located, he said.
Arrested on suspicion of prowling, conspiracy and possession of burglary tools were David Nguyen, 32, and Shanjahan Siddique, 19, both of Sacramento, Milka said.
Rocklin Police Chief Mark Siemens noted that it was the second time this week that an alert citizen's call about suspicious activity in a residential neighborhood had led to the arrests of suspects.
On Monday, a citizen contacted police after she got the license plate number of an unfamiliar car driving away from a neighbor's house. Her tip led to the arrests of five people suspected of being part of a burglary ring, police reported.
