ROSEVILLE, Calif. — A Clovis man has been arrested after he allegedly tried to burglarize two Roseville homes.

According to a Facebook post by the Placer County Sheriff's Office, 36-year-old Andrew Ott was arrested on charges of attempted burglary and resisting arrest after security cameras at both houses show him attempting to gain entry. 

Ott allegedly attempted to break into the homes on Saturday, Nov. 6. The owner of the first house along Old Country Road was notified by his security system that someone was attempting to break into their home. 

When Ott was unable to get inside, he moved to a nearby residence on Northranch Way. The county sheriff's office alleges it was at this second house Ott caught the attention of the homeowner. In video captured by the homeowner's security camera, Ott can be seen trying to open the door before he's confronted by the owner. 

On November 6th around 5 p.m., a resident on Old Country Road in Roseville was notified through his security camera app that someone was trying to get in his front door. The victim was not home at the time. When the suspect was unable to get in the house, he drove to a nearby residence on Northranch Way and tried to open the front door. When the homeowner opened the door, the suspect tried to push his way inside; however, the homeowner was able to prevent the suspect from getting in and closed the door. When deputies arrived, they found the suspect sitting next to the front door and attempted to detain him. The suspect resisted and was eventually arrested. He was identified as 36-year old Andrew Ott of Clovis. Ott was arrested for attempted burglary and resisting arrest.
