According to the CHPD, on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, at approximately 4:45am, community members called the CHPD to report several suspects removing property from a business in the 7200 block of Auburn Blvd. Officers reportedly responded to the scene and arrived as the suspects were driving away from the business in what was later determined to be a stolen U-Haul box van.

CHPD officers reportedly attempted to stop the van, but a pursuit began as the van attempted to flee. The pursuit ended after the U-Haul driver attempted to ram an apartment complex security gate on Auburn Oaks Court.

Officers were reportedly able to immediately arrest two suspects, then an additional two suspects were apprehended with help from the Roseville Police Department, Placer County Sheriff’s Department, and California Highway Patrol. All items of stolen property were reportedly recovered from the U-Haul van.

The CHPD is currently investigating this incident to identify the outstanding suspect, and anyone with information regarding this crime is encouraged to contact the CHPD at 916-727-5500.
