Authorities arrested a 39-year-old man Monday afternoon in connection with last week's home invasion robbery in Citrus Heights.
Sean James Gwiazdowski was arrested on suspicion of robbery, burglary, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, and vehicle theft in connection with Wednesday's incident, said Sgt. Josh McVay of the Citrus Heights Police Department.
A woman was held at knifepoint Wednesday morning after she returned home to her place in the 6500 block of Mariposa Avenue and interrupted a burglary. The woman struggled with Gwiazdowski, who allegedly held her against her will for about 30 minutes before he fled in her car with stolen property, police said.
McVay said teamwork with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department helped lead to the arrest.
Gwiazdowski was tracked to a home in the 6300 block of Channing Way in North Highlands where he was arrested at 3:31 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Tim Curran, a spokesman for the sheriff's department.
Gwiazdowski was spotted driving the vehicle that he allegedly stole from the woman's home. Investigators were able to identify him and make the arrest.
The woman also identified him through a photo lineup, police said.
