Two employees of the Burger King restaurant on East Stockton Boulevard in Elk Grove were attacked and robbed by three suspects early this morning.
According to Elk Grove Police, at 4:47 a store employee was approached by one of two male suspects outside the restaurant and struck him in the head with his fist. A female suspect then pointed a gun at the employee and ordered him into the restaurant.
Once inside the restaurant, the employee was forced into freezer. The three suspects then ordered the store manager to open the safe.
The suspects stole an undisclosed amount of US currency and fled in a unknown direction. Neither of the victims required medical attention.
All three suspects are described as black adults wearing black caps and dark colored sweatshirts.

more diversity from South Sac? How delightful Elk Grove is becoming. We need MORE ultr-low income housing, please City Council!!!!!
EG is now a ghetto, or on the path to becoming a crime infested ghetto.
Low income housing potentially brings low educated people with a low income, or no income.
EG is on its way down, that's a fact.
Elk Grove hasn't become ghetto just because of a robbery.
I did see three people always hanging around talking to a employee two guys and one girl
they could have done the job.
the back door is always closed
never open. if anyone had to go out side it would be the side door.
To be honest, I don't think it's low income housing that's the problem. Personally I think it's our failure to build a correct mixed used city and our failure to develop a city design that people care about.
There will always be low, middle and high income residents, but the isolation of each is what I think is the problem. We don't have any truly integrated communities in Elk Grove...something that would lead people to care about the places they live in.
Elk Grove's Laguna Vista subdivision, now twenty years old, is going down the exact same road as every earlier group of subdivisions built in the rings around Sacramento -- Valley Hi, Rancho Cordova, Orangevale, Del Paso Heights, Colonial Village...they fall apart with age (as all neighborhoods do) but instead of having any vested interest in the neighborhood and keeping their houses maintained, people with means move farther out -- Folsom, Natomas, Elk Grove, Rescue, Rocklin, Lincoln...and twenty years hence it will happen again.
If we built real neighborhoods, my suspicion is that we'd begin to care more about where we live...everyone would care, low, mid, and high income.
But Elk Grove will never do this. Never build a single neighborhood with any enduring value. We're only going to get more car dependent sprawl, walkable to nowhere, no uniqueness, and no reason to stay when the roof needs attention, when the house needs paint, or when the trees need care.
