Residents and visitors of Roseville experienced heightened police activity as the Roseville Police Department and their SWAT team responded to a burglary in progress on the 500 block of 6th Street. The department, in an update on their Facebook page, informed the community that after a thorough investigation, they arrested two individuals—Gene Tully of Sacramento and Robin Robertsonmattox of Rio Linda—in connection to the burglary.
In the social media post, the Roseville Police shared that Tully, 57, was booked on charges of Burglary (459 PC), Conspiracy (182 PC), and Obstruction (148 PC), while Robertsonmattox, 26, faced charges of Burglary (459 PC) and Conspiracy (182 PC). "The scene is now clear, and officers have left the area," the department stated, providing a sense of relief after the incident caused them to secure the perimeter and temporarily ask residents to avoid the affected area.
The incident initially unfolded when officers were dispatched to what was believed to be the burglary of a vacant residence. Upon arrival, one suspect was observed attempting to quickly flee back inside the property at the sight of the police, creating a tense situation as the suspect was thought to possibly have access to weapons. This prompted the involvement of the SWAT team, who worked alongside patrol officers to manage the situation.
The department's prompt response and thorough investigation led to a conclusive resolution without any weapons being found on the premise. "No weapons were located," the social media update further confirmed. Both Tully and Robertsonmattox were subsequently jailed at the South Placer County Main Jail. The Roseville Police thanked the public for their cooperation during the operation: "Thank you for avoiding the area and be safe!"
