“This is fairly good news on most of the crime categories but vehicle crimes (ie car burglaries and stolen cars) are still fairly high in Natomas,” says Capt. Hahn. “We continue to put out “bait” cars and work on the high incident areas. Keep calling in the suspicious activity and we will get these crimes to go the other direction. “
