At 4:22 a.m. Wednesday, August 11, Roseville Police Officer Carlos Cortes stopped a Chevrolet Lumina sedan on Atlantic Street at the I-80 onramp. As he walked up to the sedan, he saw tires, rims, stereo equipment and other electronic equipment filling the back seat. One item was a GPS portable navigation system showing the address to a hotel on Taylor Road. Officers checked the hotel parking lot and found a vehicle with a smashed window. They contacted the vehicle owner, who confirmed the GPS was hers.
