Citrus Heights police responded to reports of a theft at Macy’s Men’s in the Sunrise Mall last weekend, with residents reporting a heavy police presence near the scene.
Police said the incident occurred around 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, turning from theft into a “strong arm robbery,” although no weapons were involved. The suspects fled the scene and officers set up a perimeter, police told The Sentinel on Wednesday.
Officials confirmed that a police helicopter was dispatched to aid in the search for the suspects, but officers were unable to locate the suspects involved.
The helicopter caught the attention of local residents on social media. Witnesses said police were searching in the area of Kingswood Drive near Sunrise Boulevard.
