From Cathy Locke:
The Citrus Heights Police Department is searching for two men involved in an attempted robbery Friday night.
A department news release states that two men tried to rob Prestige Spa at 7447 Madison Avenue about 8:15 p.m.
An interior door was damaged when an individual at the spa tried to push the door closed on one of the would-be robbers. The intruders were unable to obtain any items belonging to individuals or the business. They fled out the front door and were last seen heading to the rear of the building, the release states.
California Highway Patrol officers searched the area with the assistance of a Placer County Sheriff's Department helicopter but were unable to locate the suspects.
Both men were described as Hispanic, between 20 and 25 years old. One was described as about 5-feet, 7-inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, a white bandanna and ski-style mask. The other was about 5-feet-8, weighing about 150 pounds and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with a plaid pattern and white dots, black pants with cuffs and a white bandanna or ski-style mask.
Sgt. Eric Mattke of the Citrus Heights Police Department said the two men were believed to have been involved in a similar incident at a business near Madison Avenue and College Oak Drive in unincorporated Sacramento County about 45 minutes earlier. No details on the incident were available.
Anyone with information about the Citrus Heights crime is asked to contact the on-duty watch commander at (916) 727-5522.
