Beat 1 (northeast Roseville)
Stoneridge, attempted burglary: At 3 a.m. February 6, residents in a house in the 3100 block of Wiskel Way heard a crash and their doorbell ringing, and found out that someone had thrown a rock through their sidelight window next to their door. No entry was made. We’re guessing a would-be burglar realized someone was home and left. (2018-7681)
Stoneridge, attempted burglary: At 3:27 a.m. February 8, officers responded to an attempted burglary on Aerie Court. Someone threw a rock through the sidelight window next to the front door. The resident yelled and likely scared off a would-be burglar. (2018-8184)
Stoneridge, attempted burglary: At 4:30 a.m. February 10, residents in a house in the 3000 block of Wiskel Way heard a crash, and found that someone had thrown a rock through the window next to the front door. No entry was made, and it’s possible the burglar realized someone was home and left. (2018-8661)
Burglary prevention tip: Doors with sidelights, which are tall, narrow windows on either side of the door, are more vulnerable to burglars. Burglars can break the glass and reach inside to unlock and open the door. If you have such windows next to your door, we recommend security measures such as using tougher wire glass or other tough, break resistant material, or covering the interior side of the window with clear security film. The security film won’t prevent the windows from breaking, but it will hold the glass in place and make it harder for burglars to reach through. Please note that we do
not recommend double-cylinder deadbolts (locks that require a key to open from both sides). California’s building code prohibits them on main entry doors because they can prevent residents from getting out quickly if there’s a fire or other emergency.
Creekside, identity theft arrests: At 7:50 p.m. February 6, an officer was patrolling a parking lot in the 1200 block of Galleria Boulevard, and checked on people sitting in a parked car. A search of the vehicle produced heroin-related paraphernalia, credit cards and identification belonging to numerous victims of identity theft. Officers arrested a 31-year-old Sacramento woman on suspicion of identity theft, forgery, and outstanding warrants from Sacramento and Placer County, also for identity-theft charges. (2018-7896)
Beat 2 (east Roseville)
Johnson Ranch, burglary: Overnight February 6/7, while a resident was away, someone broke a window next to the front door of a home in the 2700 block of Courtside Drive, reached in and opened the door, and burglarized the house. (See our note under Stoneridge in Beat 1 about ways to fortify sidelight windows to make them more difficult for burglars to access.)
Johnson Ranch, burglary attempt: At 6:14 a.m. February 7, officers responded to an alarm at a home in the 7900 block of Wringer Drive, and found that someone had smashed the window next to the front door.
