Roseville Retail Theft: Repeat Suspect Arrested with Drugs and Stolen Tech
ROSEVILLE, CA — “Great teamwork led to the arrest of a repeat theft suspect responsible for stealing high-end computers from two separate retailer locations just four days apart. In each case, the suspect walked out with a computer with a combined value of $5,000.
Patrol officers quickly connected the cases and identified the suspect vehicle. After sharing the information during briefings, officers located the vehicle the very next day on Interstate 80 and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was wearing the same clothing captured on CCTV during both thefts.
A search of the vehicle uncovered more than two ounces of methamphetamine, drug packaging materials, and a scale. A records check revealed the suspect is a convicted felon and a registered sex offender.
Detectives responded and authored a search warrant for the suspect’s residence. During the search, officers recovered:
• One of the stolen computers
• Methamphetamine
• Heroin
• Ammunition
• Pepper spray
Kenneth Reynolds, 66, of Sacramento was booked into the South Placer County Jail on the following charges:
• PC 487 – Grand Theft
• PC 459 – Burglary
• PC 22210 – Possession of a Sap
• HS 11377(a) – Possession of Methamphetamine

• HS 11379(a) – Transportation of a Controlled Substance for Sale
• PC 22810 – Felon in Possession of Pepper Spray

Outstanding teamwork by our Patrol and Detectives who once again took a repeat offender off the street.”
