Roseville police say they have arrested four people in a three-month-long investigation into the illegal sales of methamphetamine in the city and in unincorporated areas of Placer County.
Over the course of the probe, police recovered more than two pounds of crystal methamphetamine, which had a street value of more than $42,000, said Dee Dee Gunther, a department spokeswoman.
Three of the suspects were arrested March 21 and the fourth was apprehended Thursday, she said.

The most recent arrest was of Eric Anthony Rodriguez, 31, of Sacramento, she said. He was picked up at his home on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, transportation or sales of the drug and conspiracy, she said. He is in the Placer County jail in Auburn on $250,000 bail, she said.
Arrested last month were Kenneth Elwood Lay, 35, of Rio Linda and Roseville residents Melody Ann Cryder, 43, and Mitchell Cryder.
Lay and Melody Ann Cryder, who also goes by the name of Melody Ann Seadorf, were booked on suspicion of conspiracy and of possession and sales of the drug. They are in the Placer County jail on bail of $500,000 each.
Mitchell Cryder was arrested on suspicion of possession and released on a promise to appear in court, Gunther said.
