SECRET RAVINE PKWY |
The victim kept all his electrician project materials inside the garage, and he was the only one with access. On January 17, 2025, the victim and his son went to the garage and noticed slight damage to the top of the garage door. When attempting to open the garage using the keypad, they found it was not functioning. All garage remotes were accounted for, and no one else knew about the items stored inside. The victim manually opened the garage door using the handle in the center and immediately noticed that items were missing. During a brief inventory, the victim estimated that $18,000 of construction items had been stolen. After discovering the break-in, the victim called law enforcement to report the incident. The victim stated he did not know who may have broken into the garage and noted that the cameras in the complex were not operational. |

MEADOWLARK WAY |
On January 23, 2025, at around 1:30 PM, the victim received a phone call from his brother in Southern California. His brother said he had been contacted by someone pretending to be the victim’s son. The impersonator claimed he had been in an accident, didn’t want to call his dad, and needed money. The caller, pretending to be an attorney, told the victim’s brother that the son was in jail for reckless endangerment and needed $6,000 for bail. The victim and his wife went to their banks to withdraw the money. They were instructed to place the cash in two envelopes, then put them into a manila envelope, staple it shut, and hand it to a courier. At approximately 3:00 PM, a courier arrived in a gray Kia with blacked-out windows to collect the package. Shortly after, the victim received another call claiming there was bad news: the accident involved a pregnant woman who had lost her baby, increasing the bail amount. The victim was asked to provide another $6,000. Around 3:30 PM, while trying to gather the additional money, the victim’s brother contacted him to say his son was not in jail. At that point, the victim contacted the Roseville Police Department to report the crime. |
