Dumb Criminals: Sacramento Men Splurge On Fast Food, Post Instagram, Get Arrested For Stolen Card
Rocklin police were able to track down four auto burglary suspects – three adults and a juvenile – on Sunday after investigators found a photograph online of $120 worth of food from Carl’s Jr. that was purchased with a credit card stolen in one of the burglaries.
“I’m glad we caught them,” said Sgt. Scott Horrillo. “Sometimes, technology acts in our favor; sometimes, it doesn’t. This time it did.”
Tavion Spignor, 19, Leroy Jackson, 27, and Malek Morgan, 20, all of Sacramento, were arrested on suspicion of auto burglary, conspiracy, possession of stolen property and unauthorized use of personal ID.
They were being held at the Placer County jail in Auburn on Monday. Bond for Spignor was set at $10,000, while Jackson’s was $20,000. Morgan’s bail had not been set yet.

Living large with Other People's Money:
Investigators contacted the restaurant manager, who remembered a large drive-through order that was paid by credit card. According to police, the manager, who was not identified, had thought the order was suspicious and had taken down the license plate number of the vehicle.
She also thought she recognized one of the suspects as a student at a local high school, and told detectives that photos from the Carl’s Jr. order had been posted on Instagram.
Katelyn Hubick, 20, who was working as a shift leader at the Carl’s Jr. restaurant Saturday night, gave a slightly different account of what happened. She said that a trainee had taken the order.
“They came through and they said they would pay for the person behind them,” said Hubick.
“I was the one who wrote down the license plate, because I thought it was weird. We never see orders that big, never. And the fact that they would pay for the person behind them, and didn’t know how much that order was, I told (the trainee), ‘This is weird.’ ”
