In a release, the Sacramento Police Department said it has responded to the rash of burglaries by deploying additional resources in the affected neighborhoods. Police are also asking for community support, saying recent burglary arrests have been a direct result of residents calling in and reporting activity that they feel is suspicious in nature.
