One resident's camera captured the suspect on video checking a front door. The man in the video, who appeared to be wearing gloves, tries to open a door then walks off when finding it's locked.

Around the same time, tools were stolen from a pickup parked in the 4000 block of Porch Swing Drive and someone reportedly rummaged through an unlocked pickup parked around the corner on Amberly Way, according to a statement from the Placer County Police Department.

After media agencies posted video of the suspect recorded by a resident, detectives received tips that lead them to Auberry in northeastern Fresno County. There they arrested James Ryan McCarver, 27, on suspicion of attempted burglary.

He was booked into the South Placer Jail.

Detectives say a second suspect was working with McCarver. If you know who the second suspect is or have any other information that could help police, please email Detective Nakamura at knakamura@roseville.ca.us.
