Sac PD is warning Natomas residents that an attempted armed robbery reported last night by the NATOMAS BUZZ could be linked to a series of similar crimes in the region.
According to Capt. Daniel Hahn, the vehicle descriptions and method used in a five separate incidents — reported in both North and South Natomas — are very similar and may be the same suspects. The vehicle used is described as a four-door car, gold or silver color, possibly a Honda or Toyota.
“These suspects are most likely cruising the neighborhoods and picking their victims as they come across them,” says Capt. Daniel Hahn. “Please advise all of your neighbors to call in all suspicious activity, especially when it involves this description or cars in the neighborhood driving slowly without their lights on.”
Hahn reports numerous officers and detectives are actively working on this series.
