From Niesha Lofing:
Early Wednesday morning, a man's car was stolen after he left it running to warm up while he was inside his apartment.
The man was getting ready to leave the apartment complex in the 1600 block of Vineyard Way at 2:55 a.m. and had started his pickup and left the driver's-side door unlocked, Gunther said.
He went inside the apartment while the truck warmed up and looked outside in time to see two people get into his truck and drive away.
Roseville police dispatchers broadcast a description of the stolen Ford Ranger truck.
An officer stationed himself near Cirby Way and Melody Lane to watch for the truck and saw it pass him and drive onto westbound Interstate 80.
The officer pulled behind the truck, which sped away, she said.
Additional officers joined the pursuit and followed the truck off the highway onto Antelope Road.
The pursuit ended at U Street, near Watt avenue, after officers put down a tack strip and flattened the truck's tires.
The male driver ran away.
A female passenger, Kaprise Christine Carlson, 24, of Sacramento, was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, conspiracy, possession of stolen property, possession of burglary's tools, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, other counts and a Sacramento County arrest warrant, according to online Placer County Jail information.
Carlson is being held on $30,000 bail in the Auburn jail.
Police are investigating the case and trying to locate the driver that fled, Gunther said.
