Deputy Mike Putnam explains the function of the LRAD PA system on our STAR helicopter. There are occasions where our pilots need to get a message to people on the ground during an incident. A good rule of thumb for the announcements coming from the helicopter is that if you can’t understand the announcement, then the announcement is not meant for you. Thank you “djeasyg” for the question. #SacSheriff #SacramentoSheriff

At approximately 6:15 AM on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, two suspects orchestrated the theft of an ATM machine from the Safe Credit Union on Watt Avenue in North Sacramento. While one individual operated a forklift, the other drove a white pickup truck. After the suspect operating the forklift knocked the ATM off of its platform, they eventually loaded it in the bed of the pickup truck. The second suspect drove away with it; but during the course of their “getaway,” the ATM machine fell out of the truck in the middle of Watt Avenue, causing an unrelated traffic crash. Both suspects fled the scene and have yet to be identified or located. Detectives are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the Sheriff’s Office at (916) 874-5115 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357). Tips leading to an arrest are eligible for a CASH reward up to $1000 and tipsters remain anonymous. Tips are paid in cash and you are never asked for identification. Contact Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357), 1-800-AA-CRIME, or **TIPS. Use the "P3 TIPS" app, or online at sacvalleycrimestoppers.com Tip information may also be left anonymously at sacsheriff.com (sacsheriff.com/) or by calling (916) 874-TIPS (8477).
