One night last week more than a dozen catalytic converters were stolen from Roseville residents.
Roseville police reported that last Tuesday night and Wednesday morning at least 14 of the emission control devices were taken from vehicles, mostly Toyota pickups and SUVs.
The rash of thefts occurred in the Foothills/Junction, Vineyard and Woodcreek neighborhoods. The converters, mounted underneath vehicles, are sold to metal recyclers.
Roseville police note that the devices contain valuable metals. To replace a converter costs $500-$1,000, police said.
While some motorists don't have garages, police say that's the best spot to keep a vehicle, especially a pickup or SUV with plenty of space underneath for a thief to cut away a catalytic converter.

Suspected car burglar caught in Roseville
-Roseville Press Tribune
A suspected car burglar is in custody at Placer County jail after leading Roseville police on a neighborhood search that lasted more than one hour.
Justin Karl Sennert, 23, of Paradise, allegedly broke the window of a locked vehicle in the 600 block of Lilly Cross Drive and stole a purse shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to Dee Dee Gunther of the Roseville Police Department.
Gunther said neighbors witnessed the burglary and reported the suspect, a white male wearing baggy blue jeans and a gray sweatshirt, fleeing through a backyard.
Sennert evaded police for more than one hour by running through and hiding in neighborhood backyards, Gunther said.
Roseville police, with the help of an off-duty Auburn police detective and a Placer County Sheriff canine deputy, conducted a yard-to-yard search in the area where Sennert had last been seen, Gunther said.
Sennert was finally located under a pile of pillows in a shed that he had locked behind himself in the backyard of a Grider Drive home, Gunther said.
Sennert was ordered out and taken into custody without incident, Gunther said. Officers also located the victim’s purse with all of its contents and returned it to the victim.
Sennert is being held in the Placer County Jail without bail on suspicion of burglary, trespassing, possessing stolen property and parole violation.

Blood, window punch lead Rocklin police to burglary suspects
By Chelsea Phua
cphua@sacbee.com
Two vehicle burglary suspects left behind drops of blood and a burglary tool, and then attracted the attention of a Rocklin police officer by failing to turn on the headlights of their getaway vehicle while driving in the dark, police said.
Authorities said Amar Deep Singh and Shaneel Satwar Lal broke the window and door lock of a vehicle in the parking lot of a shopping mall at 2110 Sunset Blvd. shortly before 6:35 a.m. Monday. The victim was inside a business for about two minutes.
Police said they found drops of blood and a metal window punch - an instrument used to shatter the window - inside the victim's vehicle.
Less than 30 minutes later, an officer spotted a red Isuzu Rodeo that did not have its headlights turned on and it was still dark, police said. The officer pulled over the vehicle and saw that the passenger, Lal, had a cut on his left hand and was bleeding. She also discovered that the driver, Singh, had a metal window punch identical to the one found inside the victim's left behind by the burglars.
Detectives later searched the room of a Motel 6 in Sacramento where the pair were staying and found property stolen from a Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy early Monday morning in Elk Grove. Lal was on probation in Sacramento County and subjected to searches.
Police arrested Singh and Lal on suspicion of burglary, possession of burglary tools and conspiracy to commit a crime.
Singh was also arrested for being a suspect in two Feb. 23 Rocklin burglaries.
The men were booked into Placer County jail. Singh is being held on $50,000 bail and Lal on $40,000 bail.

preese@sacbee.com
Salvador Heredia-Arriaga wanted to give something back to his community, so after graduating from UC Santa Cruz, he moved home to Natomas, took a job as a substitute teacher and helped coach the high school football team.
"You have the privilege of going to college," his mother, Susan Heredia, vice president of the Natomas Unified School Board, recalled telling him. "Use that privilege to make a difference."
Late Friday night, two armed men entered an apartment on the 2600 block of River Plaza Drive in south Natomas and shot and killed Heredia-Arriaga, according to police. Heredia-Arriaga (left in photo supplied by his family) was 26.

Placer sheriff: Deputies interrupt burglary in progress
By Bee Staff
Placer County Sheriff's deputies stopped a residential burglary in-progress as one of the burglars walked out of a Colfax home carrying stolen goods, according to Sheriff's Department release.
The release outlined this chain of events:
At 10:50 a.m. Monday, a witness called 911 to report that two men had just kicked in the front door of a home on West Oak Street.
When deputies arrived minutes later, they said Sean Michael Emmons (photo bottom left), 19, who has no fixed address, walked out of the home's front door carrying jewelry and other items.
At the same time, workers from a business behind the home had called 911 to report that two men were loading items into a blue Chevy Trailblazer.
The workers wrote down the vehicle's license plate number, which deputies broadcasted to all patrol officers.
Shortly after that broadcast, a deputy saw the Trailblazer speeding along westbound Interstate 80 near Dry Creek Road.
The driver, Paul Lopez Zazueta (photo bottom right), 18, of Sacramento, was in possession of a television, a snowboard, clothing and a bicycle later found to belong to the residents of the West Oak Street home, the release states.
Both suspects are being held at the Placer County Jail in Auburn on burglary and conspiracy charges, the release states. Bail is set at $50,000 each.
