Last week, the Roseville Police Department arrested two suspects in two different incidents that both centered around vehicles, according to an official weekly crime report.
On Friday, August 15, at about 7:30 am, officers responded to a report of a motorcycle that had just been stolen from Booth Road and Walker Drive. Officers reportedly checked the area for the stolen bike, and noticed an SUV pulling a small utility trailer stopped in a dirt field next to Baseline Road. When officers began to approach the SUV, the driver got out, unhitched the trailer, and sped away in the SUV.
However, before the driver sped away, his female passenger had reportedly gotten out of the SUV and surrendered to officers. Amber Nichole Hamm, 31, of Rio Linda was reportedly arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and conspiracy. Officers found the stolen motorcycle inside the trailer, and also found the trailer itself had reportedly been recently stolen from North Highlands.
The investigation is continuing as officers work to identify the other suspect. They did not specify if Thomas Hamm, Amber’s husband, is considered a suspect, though it seem likely that he is. He was arrested on January 1st of this year on charges of burglary, possession of burglars tools, and possession of stolen property. Amber was also arrested in October and January on charges of receiving stolen property.
Hernandez was accused of doing damage to a vehicle parked in this area in Roseville.
And on Saturday, August 16, at 5:25 pm, Roseville PD officers reportedly to a disturbance in the 300 block of Gibson Drive, where a man was reportedly beating on another resident’s truck with a metal pipe. The suspect reportedly got into his own vehicle and left the area before officers arrived. However, officers were later able to locate the suspect driving on Pleasant Grove Boulevard at Highland Point Drive where they conducted a traffic stop and took the suspect into custody without incident.
Oscar Hernandez Jr., 21, of Roseville was reportedly arrested on suspicion of vandalism.
