On January 29, 2026, at approximately 7:45 a.m., the victim exited his residence and entered his vehicle, which had been parked in front of his home. Upon starting the vehicle, he noticed it was significantly louder than usual. After inspecting underneath the vehicle, he discovered the catalytic converter had been removed. The victim reviewed home surveillance footage covering the front of his residence. Video recorded at approximately 3:02 a.m. showed a vehicle pull up next to the victim’s vehicle, drive away, and then return a few minutes later. Two subjects wearing dark clothing exited the suspect vehicle and used a jack to lift the victim’s vehicle. At approximately 3:15 a.m., the suspects removed the catalytic converter, reentered their vehicle, and fled the area. A total of three suspects were involved, two who removed the catalytic converter and one who remained in the driver’s seat. Prevention Tip: Park vehicles inside a garage whenever possible. If garage parking is unavailable, consider installing motion-activated lighting, catalytic converter shields, and visible surveillance cameras to deter theft. |

The reporting party, acting as executor of his mother-in-law’s estate following her passing on December 22, 2025, reported suspected check fraud. The decedent’s caregiver had been employed for approximately seven months through December 21, 2025, typically working four days at a time. The executor stated the decedent was generous and occasionally issued additional checks to the caregiver; however, she personally completed and signed all checks. Following the decedent’s passing, the executor discovered two checks drawn from the victim’s Revocable Trust account had been cashed. The first check, dated October 16, 2025, was written for $2,000 and cashed on December 22, 2025. The second check, dated December 15, 2025, was written for $5,000 and cashed on January 20, 2026. Initially, the executor did not suspect wrongdoing due to the decedent’s known generosity. However, when an additional $5,000 check dated December 12, 2025, was presented for payment on January 26, 2026, he examined the checks more closely and determined the decedent’s signature had been forged. The suspect had written the decedent’s name on each check. An additional check was also discovered missing from the checkbook. The executor was able to cancel the $5,000 check and the missing check before payment was completed. Prevention Tip: Regularly monitor bank statements, secure checkbooks in a locked location, and promptly review canceled checks for unauthorized signatures, especially when others have access to financial documents. |

ASSAULT |
LEAD HILL BLVD |
The victim reported the incident began while he was driving eastbound on Interstate 80 approaching the Douglas Boulevard exit. He believed he may have inadvertently cut off another vehicle while merging onto Douglas Boulevard. While stopped at a red light to turn north onto North Sunrise Avenue, the suspect vehicle pulled up behind him. The suspect exited his vehicle, approached the driver’s side door, banged on the window, and pulled on the door handle while yelling. The victim did not open the door or window. The victim drove through the intersection when the light changed; however, the suspect followed him. The victim drove into a nearby retail parking lot and parked. As he exited his vehicle, the suspect parked behind him, blocking him in. The suspect approached the victim, yelled that the victim had nearly killed his family, pepper-sprayed him, and struck him multiple times in the head before fleeing. Video surveillance from the Douglas Boulevard and Sunrise Avenue intersection confirmed the suspect exiting his vehicle and approaching the victim’s truck. Surveillance from the retail location showed the suspect blocking the victim’s vehicle, deploying pepper spray, and physically assaulting the victim. The suspect was later identified through video evidence, arrested, and booked into the South Placer Jail for violation of 22810(g)(1) PC – unlawful use of pepper spray not in self-defense. Prevention Tip: If confronted during a road-rage incident, remain inside your locked vehicle and avoid engaging the aggressor. Drive to a well-lit, populated area or directly to a police station and call 911 if you feel threatened. |

On January 25, 2026, at approximately 5:00 p.m., the victim received a phone call from an individual claiming to be affiliated with Apple Support. Earlier that day, the victim had noticed one of his credit cards displayed as “blocked” within his Apple Wallet application. He contacted Apple Support via text messaging through the Wallet application. After the messaging conversation concluded, he received a follow-up phone call from someone claiming to be Apple Support. The caller instructed the victim to share his screen to assist with resolving the issue. The victim complied and followed the caller’s directions, including logging into his bank account, which displayed his routing and account numbers. While still on the call, the victim observed funds being transferred out of his account. He estimated that approximately $2,064.00 was wired to another account. The victim disconnected the call and contacted his bank in an attempt to stop the transactions. Prevention Tip: Legitimate companies will not request full screen sharing or ask for access to your bank account information over unsolicited phone calls. If contacted unexpectedly, disconnect and independently contact the company using the official phone number listed on its website. |
