Galleria-Harding, tire thefts Overnight January 21/22, someone stole all four aftermarket tires and rims from a 2017 Kia Sportage parked in the 700 block of Gibson Drive. They also stole all four stock tires and rims from a 2014 Honda Civic. (2018-4237, 4350)
Galleria-Harding, vehicle theft: Between the evening of January 25 and 4:30 a.m. January 26, someone stole a white 1997 Honda Accord from the parking lot of 800 Gibson Drive. This car is, unfortunately, a “Honda Hunter Special”—an older sedan favored by thieves because they’re quick and easy for them to steal using shaved keys or other common car thief techniques. If you own one of these good old cars, we recommend parking it inside a locked garage whenever you can, and using a “Club” or other highly visible auto theft deterrence devise, so that thieves will give your car a pass. (2018-5201)
East Roseville Parkway, suspicious person, arrest made: At 9:21 p.m. January 27, an alert bystander called police to report suspicious activity—a man walking around a parking lot in the 1800 block of Taylor Road, looking into cars. Officers responded, contacted the suspect, a 38-year-old homeless man, and arrested him on suspicion of possessing drug paraphernalia, and for a Placer County warrant with drug-related charges. (2018-5536)
Creekside, robbery arrest: At about 8:30 p.m. January 27, a woman tried to buy some merchandise from a store on Galleria Blvd., but the employees declined to take her check.

Officers detained the woman, and found she had a checkbook and ID that didn’t belong to her. They arrested the 34-year-old Citrus Heights woman on suspicion of robbery (taking the merchandise by using force against a store employee—that use of force “promoted” the suspect from a misdemeanor shoplifting offense to a felony), fraudulently using someone else’s ID, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
