Case #2026-00052612

The victim provided photographs of the bicycle and the suspect, who was captured on a doorbell camera. The suspect was described as a very thin adult white male wearing loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing. Although the bicycle had an electronic locking system, it was not physically secured with a lock and could still be pedaled.
Prevention Tip: Always physically secure bicycles and e-bikes with a high-quality lock attached to a fixed object, even when the bicycle has an electronic locking system. Consider registering the bicycle and recording its serial number and identifying features.
Dogs Found Deceased in Vehicle — Church Street
Case #2026-00052955
On August 29, 2026, at approximately 7:32 p.m., officers were dispatched to Church Street regarding a vehicle that had reportedly been parked in a delivery area for several days. The reporting party advised that he had looked through the vehicle’s windows and observed what appeared to be two deceased dogs inside. Upon arrival, officers opened the vehicle to check on the animals and found two adult dogs deceased in the rear passenger area. Neither dog was breathing or moving, and both appeared to exhibit signs of rigor mortis. A significant amount of heat was also observed coming from inside the vehicle. Officers identified the vehicle owner and investigated the circumstances surrounding the incident. The case was subsequently forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Prevention Tip: Never leave animals unattended in a parked vehicle, particularly during warm or hot weather. Even with the windows partially open, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly and become life-threatening.

Online Romance and Gift Card Scam — Chambord Way
Case #2026-00052937
The victim reported joining an online chatting and livestreaming website in April 2026 that allowed users to participate in live chats and meet others for dating. On August 26, 2026, at approximately 7:32 p.m., the victim received text messages from a woman named Annie and two other women identified as Jenny and Annah. Annie requested money while promising a polygamous marriage and children with the victim. The victim reported that Annie sent several nude photographs of herself, Annah, and Jenny. Annie then instructed the victim to purchase Apple gift cards and provide the card information by text message. The victim purchased approximately $6,000 in gift cards from various stores and provided the information to Annie.
The victim subsequently received messages from three additional women who claimed to be nurses at a local Kaiser facility and requested money in exchange for marriage and children. The victim purchased an additional $1,000 in Apple gift cards and provided the information by text message. The women never met with the victim and continued requesting money.
Prevention Tip: Never send gift card numbers, PINs, cash, or other financial information to someone you meet online, regardless of promises of a relationship or future repayment. Requests for gift cards are a common warning sign of fraud. If someone repeatedly asks for money but avoids meeting in person, stop communication and report the suspected scam.
Suspected Vehicle Burglary — Freedom Way
Case #2026-00052368
Officers conducting patrol checks in a parking lot recognized a vehicle displaying a California license plate that had been associated with prior vehicle burglaries in the area. The vehicle was parked directly adjacent and parallel to a white Ford work truck equipped with exterior storage and toolbox compartments. The vehicle’s engine was running, and three occupants were inside. Officers observed damage to two of the Ford’s exterior toolbox doors, including areas that appeared to have been pried outward.
Based on the vehicle’s known association with prior vehicle burglaries, its position immediately adjacent to the damaged work truck, the observed damage, and the fact that the vehicle was occupied and running at approximately 2:24 a.m., the occupants were detained. When the driver opened the door, officers observed a bright yellow crowbar between the driver’s seat and the door. The crowbar appeared to have fresh white paint residue consistent with the paint color of the work truck. The suspects were transported to South Placer Jail and booked for violations of Penal Code sections 182(a)(1), 459, and 466.
Prevention Tip: Remove tools, valuables, and other items from vehicles whenever possible, and park work vehicles in secure, well-lit areas. Businesses and contractors should consider additional locks or alarms for exterior tool compartments. Report suspicious vehicles or activity to law enforcement.
Assault Following Parking Lot Dispute — Fairway Drive
Case #2026-00051813
The victim reported that he was leaving a restaurant with his wife and a friend when they heard an adult male and female arguing in a nearby parking lot. The victim’s wife told the male she was going to call the police after observing him pick up the female and shake her. As the victim’s wife approached, the male moved toward her and the victim’s friend. The victim intervened, at which point the male punched him approximately three to four times in the stomach. The victim was able to block the blows. Officers subsequently located a possible suspect vehicle using the department’s Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system. The vehicle was registered to a residence in Sacramento, California.
Prevention Tip: Avoid physically intervening in fights or disputes whenever possible. Move to a safe location, call 911, and provide dispatchers with descriptions and vehicle information. If intervention is necessary to protect someone from immediate harm, prioritize personal safety and avoid escalating the confrontation.

Vehicle Burglary — Foothills Boulevard
Case #2026-00053366
The victim parked in a retail parking lot at approximately 11:00 a.m. and left her dog inside the vehicle with the windows partially open.

A purse containing approximately $70,000 in cash, 12 credit cards, and a laptop computer had been stolen. The retail location provided surveillance footage showing the suspect vehicle and suspect. The information was forwarded to the Regional Real-Time Crime Center (RRTCC), which identified the suspect vehicle as a rental vehicle registered in Florida. The vehicle left the area and entered the Bay Area shortly after the burglary.
Prevention Tip: Never leave valuables, cash, credit cards, or electronics visible inside an unattended vehicle.

Identity Theft and Fraudulent Bank Accounts — Torrente Drive
Case #2026-00051913
The victim reported that someone had been using her personal information in an attempt to open bank accounts. She discovered the suspected identity theft after her employer conducted a background check. Beginning July 11, 2026, the victim received several letters that appeared to be from a national bank regarding attempts to open bank accounts in her name. The background check also indicated that someone had used her identity to obtain employment in Nevada.
The victim received four letters and took them to a local branch of the financial institution. Bank employees determined that the letters were not legitimate communications from the bank and confirmed that they were fraudulent.
Prevention Tip: Regularly review credit reports, bank statements, and other financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Be suspicious of unexpected account-opening notices and verify communications directly with the financial institution using an official phone number or website.
Fraudulent Student Loan — Concerto Way
Case #2026-00052220
The victim reported that he was in the process of qualifying for a home loan when, on August 11, 2026, his loan officer provided him with a copy of his credit report. The report showed a student loan that was negatively affecting his credit. The victim stated that he had not attended school for approximately 15 years and had not applied for the loan.
The credit report showed a Department of Education loan opened on October 21, 2025, in the amount of $1,915. The loan had reportedly been sent to collections, resulting in an additional $75 in interest. On August 11, 2026, the victim contacted the Department of Education and opened a fraud case. He was advised that the loan had been opened using his name and Social Security number to attend Sacramento City College from January 23, 2025, through April 8, 2025.
Prevention Tip: Monitor your credit reports regularly and investigate unfamiliar accounts or loans immediately. If you discover an account opened using your identity, contact the financial institution or government agency directly, place appropriate fraud alerts or freezes on your credit, and report the suspected identity theft.
