Suspect Allegedly Steals Car, Crashes it Immediately

A juvenile male allegedly brandished a screwdriver to steal a car Saturday morning, then crashed it in a rollover a couple blocks away.

Sacramento County Sheriff's Department spokesman Dep. Jason Ramos said the suspect and an accomplice stole the car around 11:45 a.m. Saturday from the parking lot of Rosemont Plaza on Kiefer Boulevard.

"The suspects sped off in the vehicle and crashed it (rollover) at Lilibet and Schmuckly," Ramos said in an email.

"The passenger suspect ran away and was not located. The driver suspect was taken into custody at the crash. He was taken to the hospital for a precautionary check, and then transported to juvenile hall to be booked."

The driver was described only as a white juvenile male, while the passenger was described as a black male. Ramos said no further description was available for the passenger who escaped.
