The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is investigating five video game stores in the southern part of county that were robbed in the past 10 days.

Detectives believe the robberies may be related. In each of them, at least two men entered the store armed with a shotgun and demanded money from the store and customers, according to a press release from the sheriff's department.

According to the sheriff's department, the robberies all occurred between 6 and 9 p.m. (A photo from one of the robberies is below.)

The robberies were on: Dec. 20 in the 4400 block of 47th Ave. in the county; Dec. 21 in the 8200 block of Bruceville Road in Sacramento; Dec. 22 at the GameStop at 8250 Calvine Road in the county; and Dec. 27 at the GameStop stores at 9688 Bruceville Road in Elk Grove and 8250 Calvine Road in the county.

The robbers are described as African American or Latino men ages 18 to early 20s, between 5 feet 9 to 6 feet 4 inches tall and about 200 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's detectives at (916) 874-5115 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP.

Callers can be anonymous and may eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Additional reward money of up to $5,000 may also be available.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department arrested four people Monday night who they believe to be responsible for a string of robberies targeting area stores that deal in used video-games, sheriff's officials said.

Three men, whose names were not immediately available, and a 17-year-old boy were taken into custody about 8 p.m. in a residential neighborhood near Isabelle Jackson Elementary School in South Sacramento, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran.

The four were arrested after they tried to rob a Gamestop in the 8200 block of Calvine Road about 7:30 p.m., Curran said. The men, ages 18, 19 and 22, entered the store with guns drawn, ordering patrons against the wall, before making off with money, he said. The juvenile acted as a getaway driver, he said.

Sheriff's deputies, with assistance from the Sacramento and Elk Grove police departments, found the getaway car about a half-mile away and caught all four as they tried to run through the neighborhood, Curran said.

At least five video-game stores have been robbed since Dec. 20, all in the South Sacramento and Elk Grove areas. In each robbery, the robbers entered the store with guns and demanded money from cashiers and customers.
