A series of residential burglaries were reported in the Natomas area between March 19 and 20. The incidents occurred primarily during daytime hours when homeowners were away. Police have increased patrols in the affected neighborhoods and are advising residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
On March 20, police arrested a suspect in connection with a string of armed robberies targeting convenience stores in the Arden-Arcade area. The alleged perpetrator was apprehended following a tip from a community member. The case has been forwarded to the District Attorney's office for review.
A hit-and-run collision resulting in injuries occurred on March 21 near the intersection of Florin Road and 24th Street. The suspect vehicle, described as a dark-colored SUV, fled the scene. Witnesses are urged to contact the Sacramento Police Department with any information.
Throughout the week, officers conducted several traffic enforcement operations citywide, resulting in numerous citations for speeding, distracted driving, and DUI offenses. These efforts are part of an ongoing initiative to improve road safety in Sacramento.
Police also responded to multiple calls related to illegal sideshows in various locations across the city. Several vehicles were impounded, and citations were issued to participants. The department continues to work on strategies to deter these dangerous activities.
Investigators made progress in an ongoing homicide case from earlier this month. Two juvenile suspects, aged 16 and 17, were arrested for a carjacking that occurred shortly after the shooting. The homicide case has been presented to the District Attorney's office for filing.
In a separate case, detectives arrested 32-year-old Avonte Teasely on March 3 in Oakland in connection with a murder that occurred in Sacramento. Teasely was transported and booked into the Sacramento County Jail on homicide-related charges.
The police department noted a slight increase in property crimes, particularly auto thefts and burglaries, compared to the previous week. Residents are reminded to secure their vehicles and homes, and to not leave valuables in plain sight.
