An alert neighbor gave me some details on yet another vehicle break in. It occured on Santa Cruz Court to a truck. Some minor things were taken but there is a lot of criminal activity going on in the Creekside area on San Simeon Drive.
People should keep their vehicles in a locked garage otherwise they are easy targets. Right now vehicles left outside are being targeted, especially with Toyota pick ups. Thieves are stealing catalytic converters because they are very expensive to replace and they can easily sell them on the black market. Everyday there is a similar incident reported in Roseville.
Please be alert and let me know if you know of any further problems in this area. I'll keep your info anonomous if you like.

Home invasion robbery reported in Roseville
A Roseville woman reported that two masked individuals, one carrying a handgun, took money and jewelry from her over the weekend in a home invasion robbery, police said.
Officers interviewed neighbors and gardeners working outside in the area, but no one saw anyone suspicious leaving the area at the time or heard anything unusual, police said.
The woman said she was in her home on Bronte Court at 11:45 a.m. Saturday when a man and a woman wearing face masks suddenly appeared at the sliding glass door in the back yard and demanded entrance, said Dee Dee Gunther, police spokeswoman.
The robbers were described as Asian and in their 20s. The man wore a white T-shirt, jeans and gloves and the woman had on a black sweater, blue jeans and gloves, Gunther said.

Roseville Door-to-door salesman arrested in burglary
By Art Campos - sacbee.com
A man selling magazines door-to-door in Roseville was arrested Monday for allegedly breaking into a home and stealing video game equipment, coins and jewelry, police reported.
The 20-year-old man was part of a legitimate campaign in which young men sell magazines in residential neighborhoods, but he apparently gave in to temptation when he came upon on house in which no one was home, said police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther.
The incident was reported at 5:25 p.m. in the 1900 block of Sidesaddle Way after a woman returned home and found the house burglarized, Gunther said. The thief had broken a rear window to gain entry, she said.
A next-door neighbor provided police with a description of a magazine solicitor who had come to her door earlier, Gunther said.
Police learned that several door-to-door solicitors with legal business licenses were in the area and that a van would be picking them up shortly, Gunther said.
When officers located the van, they found that one of the men inside matched the description given by the burglary victim's neighbor, she said. The man also had the stolen items in his possession, she said.
Arrested on suspicion of burglary and providing a false name was Jonothan Pelaske, 20, who gave no permanent address. He also was wanted on two warrants by the Redding Police Department for failure to appear in court, Gunther said.
Pelaske is being held in the Placer County jail on $40,000 bail, she said.

Roseville burglar strikes woman with car during escape
By Art Campos - SacBee.com
Published 12:29 pm PST Thursday, January 31, 2008
Roseville police are seeking a man who fled a burglary Wednesday by striking one of his victims with his car.
Police said the female victim was tossed onto the hood of the car and rolled onto the ground. She was bruised but declined medical attention, police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said.
The fleeing burglar may have been scalded in the face by hot coffee thrown at him by the woman's husband, Gunther said.
The incident occurred at 8:25 a.m. Wednesday in the Raley's parking lot at 1915 Douglas Blvd.
A Rocklin couple came out of the store and saw a man sitting in their vehicle, the driver-side window having been smashed, Gunther said. They yelled and the suspect ran, taking the couple's portable GPS unit and jumping into his own vehicle, she said.
The husband, carrying a cup of coffee, threw the hot liquid through the car's open window, Gunther said. The suspect then struck the man's wife with the car as he fled, she said.
The suspect was described as a Latino with a shaved head. He is in his 20s, about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. He wore a white T-shirt. His vehicle was a white Honda Accord four-door, possibly an early 1990s model, Gunther said.
Citizens are urged to look for someone who may have scald marks from the coffee thrown in his face, she said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at (916) 774-5070 or the Roseville Crime Stoppers Program, which pays cash rewards for anonymous tips leading to arrest, at (916) 783-7867.
