Here’s a story from the Vacaville Police Department official Facebook Page that highlights the result of good police work and vigilant residents –
“This morning, sharp-eyed officers arrested Vacaville resident Shea Hughes on an outstanding warrant for identity theft. As officers arrested Hughes they located additional stolen mail and ID’s, leading to five new criminal charges.
But beyond the warrant and new crimes we’re now investigating, Hughes was recently linked to several other thefts in our neighborhoods.
Hughes was identified on multiple home security cameras trying to open mailboxes and car door handles. Many of these cases would have gone totally unnoticed had it not been for our vigilant residents; we hope identifying these perpetrators give those victims some peace of mind.
Above all else, this shows again how our community comes through to help identify suspects, turning a good investigation into a great one. With your help and the sharing of this suspicious activity, you truly shed light into the dark places where criminals operate. Keep up the good work!!”
