I’m Carol — let’s get you caught up.

[NEWS]

Four arrests have been made following a months-long narcotics investigation in Placer County.

Roseville Police say search warrants at multiple homes uncovered cocaine, alprazolam pills, nearly eight pounds of marijuana, and packaging materials tied to drug sales.

Officers also seized suppressors, short-barreled rifles, an illegal rifle, 3D-printed firearm parts, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

All four suspects were booked on drug- and weapons-related charges. The investigation is ongoing.

[CITY WATCH]

Sacramento is facing a projected $66.2 million budget deficit as planning begins for the 2026–27 fiscal year.

City leaders have already redirected $7.7 million in savings, with additional reductions under review ahead of final budget adoption in June.

[WEATHER]

High near 49.

Rain becomes steadier overnight with a low around 40 and gusts up to 23 mph.
