Reports of both residential burglary and car thefts are down, but robberies are still on the rise in Natomas.According to statistics released by Sacramento police Capt. Daniel Hahn, reports of residential burglaries and stolen vehicles in all three Natomas police beats are at their lowest since before 2004. Robberies reported between Jan. 1 and March 31, however, were at the highest since 2007.
“The robberies were significantly higher in the beginning of this year, but recently they have started to come back down,” Hahn said. “This is very good news on some of these crime categories, but by working together we can make them go down even more – which is what makes our neighborhoods safer.”
