If anyone has had some stolen items from their house in the past few months, you might want to go talk to the Roseville PD. They just busted a guy who was seen in the neighborhood.
Camera's image, officer's hunch lead to Roseville arrest

A home surveillance camera's fleeting image of a burglar and a police officer's hunch led to an arrest in a rash of vehicle break-ins in east Roseville.
Officer Keith Marzolf knew that a man on probation - who resembled the image - had been seen in the area for about a month, said Dee Dee Gunther, a police spokeswoman.
On Sunday, Marzolf got his break. He spotted the man on a bicycle at 10 a.m. on Sunrise Avenue near Conroy Lane, stopped him, checked an apartment in which he was staying and found numerous items believed to have been taken in the burglaries, Gunther said.
Jeremiah Joseph Mallory, 34, of Weed was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property, possession of a switchblade knife and violation of probation, she said. Mallory also was held on a Sacramento County warrant for drunken driving, she said. He is being held in the Placer County jail in Auburn in lieu of $75,500 bail.
Among the more than 70 items found in Mallory's apartment were cell phones, GPS navigation units, handheld gaming devices and music players, Gunther said. Investigators have matched property to at least seven thefts from vehicles and garages in east Roseville, she said.
