The area near Madison Avenue and Jackson Street in North Highlands was the scene of a pursuit Friday night, ending when a suspect accused of stealing a car crashed and was hospitalized; no further suspect information was released. Thieves targeted a dance studio on Madison Avenue in North Highlands three times in one week; police are seeking leads in those cases.
A car crashed into a backyard in North Highlands early Sunday morning, as reported by the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District; no injuries were detailed and the investigation continues. A driver crashed into a North Highlands home Monday afternoon, per the California Highway Patrol; the incident is under review.
Authorities are asking for public help to identify a patient brought to a Sacramento-area hospital without identification. A Walmart in Sacramento County saw a stabbing incident, leading to one juvenile arrest and a second suspect still at large; the victim’s condition was not released.
In Foothill Farms, a large tree fell onto an apartment building during a windstorm Wednesday afternoon; no injuries were reported, but structural assessments are ongoing. Around 40 North Highlands residents remain displaced after losing belongings in a Thanksgiving week apartment fire; a family of eight also lost their home in an early morning fire Thursday, with both incidents under investigation.
One person died and another was hospitalized after a Wednesday night shooting in Sacramento County; detectives are working the case. There were no immediate suspect descriptions provided for these shootings or most other crimes.
Efforts to address housing needs for teachers and staff were announced by district officials, unrelated to criminal activity.
