Police Arrest 3 In Roseville Fire Hydrant Thefts

More Local News
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) ― A tip called into the Roseville Crime Stoppers hotline has led to the arrest of three men in connection with a series of thefts at construction sites in the Roseville area, and could be tied to construction site thefts throughout the Sacramento region.

Police arrested 44-year-old Robert Stewart of Orangevale, 29-year-old Kevin Nelson of Citrus Height and 30-year-old Justin Bozarth of Shingle Springs. The three are suspected of stealing $20,000 in fire hydrants, fire hydrant parts, water backflow devices and copper wiring from three separate construction areas in Roseville.

After getting the Crime Stoppers tip, Roseville Police investigators searched two houses, one in Orangevale and one in Fair Oaks. During the search, investigators say they found discarded fire hydrant shells and other parts. Investigators believe the suspects stripped the brass and valuable metal from the stolen items to sell.

Stewart is facing charges of grand theft and conspiracy. He is being held in the Placer County Jail on $15,000 bail. Nelson is facing the same charges but was also arrested on a Placer County traffic warrant. He is being held on $17,500 bail. Bozarth was arrested on suspicion of grand theft and released on a promise to appear.
