Three people who committed a home invasion robbery in Newcastle early Thursday morning were all arrested within less than a day by Placer County Sheriffa s deputies and detectives.
30-year old Derrick Michael Thomas, 44-year-old Lukas Mathew and 28-year-old Amanda Robertsen were booked at the Placer County Jail on charges including home invasion robbery, kidnapping, conspiracy, assault with a firearm, and auto theft.
Around 4:30am on Thursday, Thomas and Mathew cut the power to a Newcastle home, then entered the occupied residence through a side garage door. Wearing masks and carrying a gun, they entered the bedroom of the male resident and held him at gunpoint. They pretended to be law enforcement officers, and said they had a warrant for the mana s arrest. The suspects gathered firearms and cash, and left. Thomas stole the victima s vehicle.
Bail for Thomas is set at $2.15 million, Mathewa s bail is set at $2.3 million, and Robertsena s is set at $200,000.
