2. Petra’s business is on fire! Literally… Petra, the Greek restaurant in the Palladio in Folsom, caught fire shortly before 11:00 on Wednesday night. Firefighters converged on the scene and reportedly were able to contain the damage to just the Petra business. It was determined that the fire started due to a cooking appliance. No one was in the building when the fire occurred and there were no injuries reported. (KTXL FOX 40 Sacramento)
3. City of Roseville Police Department reported that there were two suspects arrested in a construction site theft Friday morning. Police responded to reports of a construction theft in progress in West Roseville and when they arrived they saw the suspect vehicle. It was a wild ride as the suspects attempted to flee. They took their truck offroad, but ended up running into a power pole and taking the lines down. After a futile attempt to flee on foot, the two were arrested and booked into the jail.
