From Art Campos:
Two suspected car thieves ventured into Roseville one too many times Tuesday and ended up behind bars, police reported.
The suspects apparently came into Roseville overnight Monday, stole a vehicle on Atwell Street and drove it to Sacramento County, police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said.
But they abandoned the vehicle there and stole another, driving back to Roseville, she said.
At 4:27 a.m. Tuesday, a citizen called police to the 1400 block of Lockhart Way to report that a vehicle burglary had just been interrupted and the culprits were driving away, Gunther said.
A responding officer stopped the suspects before they could leave the area, and two car stereos, wiring and burglar's tools were found inside the vehicle, she said.
The car stereos were matched to burglarized vehicles on Lockhart Way and Oakborough Avenue in Roseville, she said.
Booked on suspicion of auto theft, burglary, possession of stolen property, vandalism and possession of burglar's tools were Souyee Lao (left photo), 20, of Sacramento and Jesse Tang Xiong (right photo), 19, of Elverta. They are being held in the Placer County jail in Auburn on $20,000 bail each.
