Officers arrested three suspects after gunfire struck multiple homes and a vehicle in a residential neighborhood. The arrests were made with the help of our Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program.

On Sunday, May 24, just after 6 p.m., we received calls reporting gunshots coming from the area of the 9800 block of Kent Street.

We immediately launched our Drone as a First Responder
(DFR). Real-time drone video helped identify three people shooting firearms at targets on private property – without permission - east of the railroad tracks in the direction of a residential neighborhood.

DFR advised officers the suspects left the scene in two
separate vehicles traveling northbound on Waterman Road. Within minutes, officers located the suspect vehicles near Bond Road, arrested all three suspects and seized six firearms.

During the investigation, officers discovered 4 homes and
one vehicle on the 9800 block of Falcon Meadow had been struck by gunfire. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The three suspects were booked into Sacramento County Main
Jail and charged with shooting into inhabited dwelling and negligent discharge of a firearm.

Woman thanks officers for saving her from her burning home and recovering her stolen jewelry.

In the early morning hours of January 29th, Elizabeth Russo woke up to her home on fire. Fortunately our officers and @CosumnesFire got there in time and helped get her out safely.

Less than 2 months later, burglars broke into the boarded up home and took off with thousands of dollars worth of stolen jewelry.

Officers worked with RTIC team to identify a possible suspect vehicle.

A license plate reader alert came in and our drone was up in the air within minutes. It captured two women getting out of the car and walking into a business.

Officers made a vehicle stop. The driver didn’t have a license and the passenger was on searchable probation.

Inside the car, Officers found Ms. Russo's jewelry and bolt cutters. Both women were arrested.

Best of all, Ms. Russo got her jewelry back and she made sure to thank them for helping her not once, but twice.
