Sacramento Stockton Modesto, CA, August 17, 2026 —
CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif. – A 19-year-old man is facing charges after allegedly attempting to rob the same Kay Jewelers store in Sunrise Mall for the second time in a month. Citrus Heights police officers apprehended Xenon Picou on Sunday as he was reportedly in the process of committing the robbery.
According to authorities, Picou was allegedly burglarizing the Kay Jewelers located within Sunrise Mall when he was discovered and subsequently arrested by police. This incident marks the second time in recent weeks that the same store has been targeted by a suspect matching Picou’s description and alleged modus operandi.
The previous burglary at the Kay Jewelers store occurred last month. Details regarding the specifics of the prior incident, including the date, items stolen, and the outcome of that investigation prior to Sunday’s apprehension, were not immediately available. The suspect’s motive for allegedly targeting the same retail location for a second time is also unclear at this time.
The Citrus Heights Police Department has not released further information regarding the circumstances of the Sunday arrest or the investigation into both incidents. It remains unclear if any merchandise was taken during Sunday’s alleged attempted robbery or during the previous burglary.
Xenon Picou, age 19, was taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Information regarding bail, court appearances, or specific charges filed against Picou was not immediately provided.
