ROSEVILLE — Two individuals are facing felony charges after being apprehended with stolen merchandise valued at over $950 in Roseville this week. The incident began on Thursday when police received a report of a theft from a store located on Five Star Boulevard. Witnesses reported that the suspects fled the scene in a red pickup truck, which was subsequently spotted and pulled over by officers near the Goodwill store on Fairway Drive. Upon searching the vehicle, law enforcement discovered a significant amount of stolen items, totaling more than $950. In addition to the stolen goods, officers also found methamphetamine, heroin, and drug paraphernalia inside the truck. The identities of the suspects have not yet been disclosed by the police. The suspects are now facing multiple felony charges, including grand theft, conspiracy, and organized retail theft. Under California's Proposition 47, which was enacted in 2014, theft is classified as a felony only if the value of the stolen items exceeds $950. This law, which raised the threshold from $400, has been a topic of ongoing debate and scrutiny since its implementation. The Roseville police continue to investigate the case, emphasizing their commitment to addressing retail theft and related criminal activities in the area. The outcome of the charges against the suspects will be closely monitored as the legal proceedings unfold.
