The Roseville and Citrus Heights police departments are investigating three armed robberies that may have been committed by the same suspects, according to a news release.
The suspects were captured on a neighbor's home surveillance system in Citrus Heights showing the suspects in the area around the time of the robbery (see video below).
The robberies occurred on Brimstone Drive in Citrus Heights, Madden Lane in Roseville and Dante Circle in Roseville between approximately 9 p.m. Saturday night and 12:40 a.m. Sunday morning, the release from the Roseville Police Department states.
In each case, the robbers confronted at gunpoint their lone victims on the sidewalk or in a parking lot near the victims' homes, the release states.
In one of the robberies, the victim had nothing of value, so the robbers accompanied him to his house, where they rifled through his belongings and took his cell phone and wallet.
None of the victims reported being injured, the release states.
The suspects were described as black males in their teens or 20s.
One was described as 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, thin to medium build, wearing a black down-type jacket, and, in at least one robbery, a gray beanie cap. He was armed with a handgun.
The other suspect was described as approximately 6 feet tall with a thin to average build. He wore a dark colored hoodie sweatshirt, possibly with a dark jacket over it, and a ski mask.
No suspect vehicle was seen.
Anyone with any information about these crimes is asked to call Roseville Crimestoppers at (916)783-7867. Callers may be eligible for a cash reward for information leading to arrest.
