Tip leads to arrest of three suspects by Elk Grove Police
A tip by an observant community member led to the arrest of three people, including one person that was photographed taking a catalytic converter at Delta Shores recently.
The Elk Grove Police Department shared the story on its Facebook page.
A community member flagged down our officers in the area of Kammerer Rd/ Promenade Pkwy to advise them that a catalytic converter theft suspect recently posted on social media, was seen nearby in a silver SUV. Officers made a vehicle stop of the SUV for expired registration and contacted Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lastra and Jade Carter. A records check of the occupants revealed active probation statuses and no bail warrants.
A search of the vehicle resulted in finding two loaded firearms under the center console (not registered to any of the occupants) and numerous burglary tools.
All three non Elk Grove residents were arrested.
