'Bike Bandit' Targets People In Natomas Driveways

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― Police are searching for a man who roams a north Sacramento neighborhood on a bicycle and attempts to rob people as they pull into their driveways.

There were three such robberies over the weekend in Natomas, a vast neighborhood of newer homes that has experienced a wave of foreclosures.

At one home, the robber shot his intended victim in the buttocks as he tried to escape into his house.

Police say the robber confronts people while they are unloading their cars. He then brandishes a weapon and demands money.
