The Citrus Heights Police Department released new details regarding the arrest of a suspect connected to a robbery in Citrus Heights.
In an April 24 press release, police announced the arrest of 27-year-old Sage Parrish in connection with robberies of two local businesses over two days last week, in which the masked assailant “brandished a handgun and demanded money” according to the release.
On April 14, police were called to a business in the 8000 block of Greenback Lane around 10:30 a.m. which had “been robbed at gunpoint by an adult male wearing a mask. On April 16, a second robbery was reported around 6:15 p.m. in the 7000 block of Sunrise Boulevard. That employee also reported they had “been robbed at gunpoint by a masked adult male suspect who also demanded cash before fleeing.” According to police, the total theft from both robberies included $750 in cash.
On April 17, Placer County Sheriff’s deputies spotted the vehicle that matched the description of one connected to the robbery in Citrus Heights, according to local news reports. When deputies tried to confront the man, he fled, and the short pursuit ended when Parrish crashed his vehicle. Multiple items of evidence from both Citrus Heights robberies were located inside the vehicle, along with the firearm, according to police.
