The Roseville Police Department arrested four males, two adults and two juveniles, Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of burglarizing at least two residences Wednesday.
Officers are also investigating to see if they are connected with a string of other residential burglaries in west Roseville.
Police responded to an emergency call at 2 p.m. Wednesday by a man who had interrupted a burglary-in-progress in his home near Junction Boulevard and Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard.
The man described the vehicle in which the suspects fled to police, who saturated the area with patrol cars and found the vehicle, a red Lexus sedan, on the north side of Junction Boulevard.
An undercover officer watched the vehicle until the suspects returned with stolen items from a home on the street where their vehicle was parked, said Sgt. Brian Lewis of the Roseville Police Department.
When police made contact with the suspects, they attempted to flee in their vehicle, but hit a patrol car, causing minor damage.
Two suspects remained in the vehicle and were arrested, while the other two attempted to flee but were apprehended within 100 feet of the scene.
The two minors, both 17, were taken to Placer County juvenile hall. Two other men, an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old, were taken to the Placer County jail. Their names are not being released because of the active investigation, police officials said.
Items stolen Wednesday were recovered, and an investigation is being conducted to determine whether the suspects were involved in a string of six area burglaries Tuesday.
