Botched Burglary in Elk Grove, 5 Suspects Arrested

0:00Five suspects are sitting in Sacramento County, Jail, after a botched burglary attempt in Elk Grove on April 15th. Cops say the crew targeted a home, but their plan fell apart quick when they realized someone was inside. One of the guys posed as a food delivery driver to get close, while his buddy tried sneaking through a side door. They took off running as soon as they spotted the homeowner, hopping back into their getaway car. That smart move by the resident probably saved the day and gave police the edge they needed. Elk Grove folks are breathing easier knowing these types got rounded up before hitting more spots. Officers tracked the vehicle using flat cameras straight to Hood Franklin Road in South Sacramento County. A search turned up $80,000 in stolen property from another house, robbed earlier that same day. All five now face multiple burglary charges, showing how tech and quick thinking can shut down these rings fast. Stay alert out there y'all.
