Elk Grove Juvenile Burglary Spree

Six Juveniles, one adult arrested in two separate daytime incidents

Elk Grove Police arrested six juveniles yesterday and one adult in connection with two separate daytime burglaries.

In the first incident, Elk Grove Police report that three male juvenile suspects went to the front door of a residence on the 6800 block of Elvora Way at 11:49 AM and rang the bell. Not knowing the suspects, the occupant did not answer the door.


The three suspects then went to the backyard and attempted to gain entry by breaking the back door window. The occupant fled the house and called police.

Responding police officers located another suspect near the residence who they determined was acting as a lookout. Officers then located the three other suspects nearby.

The four suspects, all 15-years old, were arrested and transferred to juvenile hall.

The other incident happened on the 8800 block of Starfall Way at 8:08 AM after an officer initiated a vehicle stop for reckless driving. As the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the 17-year old Sacramento male juvenile suspect stopped the car and fled on foot.

Officers established a perimeter and were able to apprehend the suspect and a search of the vehicle revealed a plasma television. Officers also noticed two other suspects, a 17-year old Elk Grove juvenile and 18-year old Tramiane Moore, leaving the general area where the first suspect was detained.

Witnesses positively identified all three suspects as having been seen leaving a house that had just been burglarized. Officers determined the plasma television had been stolen from the burglarized house.

All three were arrested and transferred to the county jail and juvenile hall.
