Rocklin police detectives have arrested a Rancho Cordova man suspected of stealing 54 video games from a family during its move into a Rocklin home, authorities report.
According to a police department news release, Angel Sanchez Jr. (left photo), 18, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of possessing stolen property, obstruction of a peace officer with threats and participating in a criminal street gang.

On Nov. 5, the video games, worth $2,900, were stolen from the Rocklin home while a moving company was unpacking the family's personal belongings. The family had recently moved to Rocklin from Michigan.
Detectives assigned the case found a business in Rancho Cordova where one of the movers had sold four of the reported stolen video games. These games were sold to the store approximately one hour after the mover left the victim's home.

Sanchez was booked into the Placer County Jail and his bail is set at $50,000.
