Two suspects are arrested after burglaries hit North Auburn, Rocklin, and Grass Valley early Wednesday.
PLACER COUNTY, Calif. — Early Wednesday morning, around 3 a.m., Placer County deputies responded to a reported break-in at Max’s Deli and Third Eye Tattoo in North Auburn.
When officers arrived, the suspects had already fled. Investigators quickly identified a white BMW SUV connected to the burglary.
Authorities determined that the same vehicle was linked to additional burglaries in Rocklin and Grass Valley earlier that morning.
Placer County Sheriff’s Office and Rocklin Police property detectives tracked the vehicle to Sacramento.
With assistance from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, deputies stopped the SUV near 47th Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Two people were inside and taken into custody.
A female adult was arrested by Sacramento deputies on charges in their jurisdiction. Placer County deputies arrested Elijah Felix, 25, of Sacramento, on multiple charges, including burglary, possession of stolen property, conspiracy, a Yuba County burglary warrant, and violation of Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS) for commercial burglary.
Authorities say the other suspects are still at large, and the investigation is ongoing.
“Small business owners are an important part of our community, and targeting them is unacceptable,” the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said. “Our detectives will use every available resource and investigative technology to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.”
