PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is warning our community about an increase in jewelry distraction thefts occurring throughout Sacramento County and surrounding areas. The suspects carrying out these crimes often appear friendly and non-threatening, using conversation (such as asking for directions), fake gifts, hugs, "blessings," or requests for assistance to distract victims while secretly removing valuable jewelry. Suspects often replace stolen jewelry with fake items and use force in some cases. The majority of victims have been: • Older adults (ages 50–70+) • Asian community members • Both men and women have been targeted Recent incidents have been reported at and near: • Costco • Sam's Club • Walmart • Lowe's • Home Depot • 99 Ranch Market • SF Market • Other high-traffic business areas There have been instances where suspects have followed victims home before committing the theft. Keep expensive jewelry covered or leave it at home whenever possible. Never allow strangers to place jewelry, scarves, or gifts around your neck. Be cautious of unsolicited hugs, blessings, or unnecessary physical contact. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially in parking lots and shopping centers. If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and leave the area. If you become a victim or witness suspicious activity, report it immediately. If the crime is occurring, call 911. For non-emergency reporting, contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office at 916-874-5115. Preserve any evidence left at the scene, such as fake jewelry. Make note of vehicle and suspect descriptions. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your family, friends, and neighbors. Awareness is one of the best ways to prevent these crimes.
