Flat tire leads to arrest of six robbery suspects by alert Elk Grove officer

Quick thinking by an Elk Grove Police officer led to the arrest of six robbery suspects early Friday morning.

Officers had responded to a robbery call around 4:30 am in the 9000 block of Bruceville Road. The victim was walking to work when four male suspects approached with what the victim thought was a bat and a firearm. The suspects robbed the victim, who then returned home and called police.

Officers spoke to the victim, who gave them a description of the suspects. The officer recalled driving by a vehicle with a flat tire earlier. Officers located the vehicle with suspects attempting to repair the flat tire. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of the victim’s property.

The four male suspects and two female suspects were arrested and taken to the Sacramento County Jail.
