SACRAMENTO—Police arrested a man and a woman on Monday, March 16, on suspicion of robbery, battery with great bodily injury, and elder abuse of a man in Citrus Heights.
Police responded to a call at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday to the area of Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights, where a 70-year-old man had been assaulted and robbed of his money and other belongings.
The elderly man was transported to a nearby hospital for non life-threatening injuries. A witness was able to provide descriptions of possible suspects to a patrol officer.
One suspect, Duran Kandyce Briardy, 20, was taken into custody. Her alleged accomplice, Garett Lamar Wallace, 24, was seen running into a nearby apartment complex on Birdcage and Greenback. He was found a short time later hiding on an apartment patio.

Wallace and Duran were both booked into Sacramento County Jail.
