Burglary Live On The Internet
Florida woman watches intruders rob home via surveillance feed
From smokinggun.com
A Florida woman who used a live Internet video feed to monitor the interior of her home was shocked yesterday when she saw two men burglarizing her residence in real time. Jeanne Thomas, 43, was seated at her office desk when two strangers appeared in her living room (the intruders got into Thomas's Boynton Beach house through a doggie door at the rear of the home, according to the below probable cause affidavit). Thomas, who set up the live video stream after her home was burglarized last October, immediately called 911 to report the burglary. Cops raced to her home and arrested the two men inside the house: Curtis Williams, 20, and Steven Morales, 19. Two other suspects--Scott George and Jonathan Cruz, both 20--were nabbed at a nearby residence and charged with helping plan the burglary. The amazing surveillance video from inside Thomas's house was uploaded to YouTube by the Boynton Beach Police Department and can be seen above.

2 burglary attempts in Roseville linked to 1 suspect
Look out, there is a new burglar on the loose in Roseville!
From Sandy Louey at sacbee.com
Roseville police are looking for a man who likely was responsible for two interrupted burglaries Monday.
At 8:13 a.m., a resident in the 1800 block of Bottlebrush Circle heard scraping noises at her backyard window. She saw the window screen fall off her window and a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt standing outside, according to a news release from the Roseville Police Department.
She barricaded herself inside the home and used her cell phone to call for help. The man left without entering the home, police said.
The second incident was about an hour later and five miles away. At 9:25 a.m., a resident in the 2500 block of Tradewinds Drive heard a banging sound on the side of his home.
When he heard someone downstairs, he went down and found a man holding a crowbar, police said.
Police said the burglar ran out the front door. A witness saw the man get into the passenger's side of a silver compact sedan, which sped away toward Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard.
The person in the Tradewinds Drive incident was described as a clean-shaven African American, Latino or mixed-race man, 6 feet 1 inches tall with a medium build. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black jeans with red markings.
The burglar in the Bottlebrush Circle incident was described only as a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, but police said they believe he is the same man from the Tradewinds Drive attempted break-in.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police department's investigations unit at (916) 774-5070.

Roseville reports rash of vehicle burglaries
Roseville residents have been hit with a spate of vehicle burglaries in the past few weeks, including at least six Thursday night, police said.
Authorities are asking residents to remove electronic items like portable GPS navigation systems and other valuables from their vehicles. Police are also asking residents to park their vehicles inside locked garages at night if possible and to remove garage door openers from vehicles parked outside.
Most of the burglaries occurred at night in residential areas, but thieves have also hit the parking lots of hotels, fitness centers and golf courses during daytime and night time hours.
Police say the thieves will steal from unlocked vehicles when they can find them, but are frequently breaking windows to steal from inside the vehicle.
At least six vehicles parked in the Cirby Side and Cresthaven neighborhoods south of Cirby Way Thursday night had their windows smashed and property taken. The thieves were apparently targeting portable GPS navigation systems, even some that had been stashed out of sight in the vehicles.
Residents are asked to report any suspicious activity or persons immediately.

More residential break-ins occuring in our neighborhood
In the middle of the night, Christmas Eve, a home on Kensington Drive was burglarized. The front door was kicked in and many items were stolen. Luckily, another person in the neighborhood saw this and called the police. No one was arrested.
To protect the homeowner, I won't post the address or location of the home. We're seeing more and more violent crime in Roseville, including residential break-ins. I've been trying to get the Roseville Police Department and the Roseville City Council to change their priorities. Instead of chasing people who drive 3 MPH over the speed limit, they need to start patrolling our neighborhoods. Crime is on the rise and the Roseville Police Department and Roseville City Council is focusing on writing traffic tickets to increase revenues. If you disagree with this and agree that stopping crime is a priority, please contact these people and let you voices be heard, otherwise the bad guys will end up winning! You can also contact me if you need more specific information.

Vandalism occurred on Kensington Drive
There was a lawn job that occurred at 1046 Kensington Drive either last night or early this morning. The corner lawn of this home was vandalized by a vehicle knocking over a mail box. I saw a Chevy Suburban that wrecked into a utility box at the corner of Kensington and Sunrise. The occupants looked to be teens who lost their back axel. I don’t know if these are related, but they certainly could be. If you witnessed anything, either let the residents of 1046 Kensington know or call the Roseville Police.

Suspect arrested in Citrus Heights home invasion

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.
