A Deadly Jewelry Heist, E-Bike Rules & a Packed Sacramento Weekend
Nearly four months after an attempted jewelry store robbery left a 72-year-old man dead, Sacramento County Sheriff’s detectives have made two arrests. Investigators say automated license plate readers provided critical leads that helped track vehicles connected to the suspects across jurisdictions.
Plus, with students heading back to school, Sacramento County is reminding parents and young riders to know their e-bike — including which classes are allowed on Regional Parks trails and the 15 mph speed limit on the American River Parkway.
And it’s Friday, so we’re looking ahead to the weekend with the 15th Annual Sacramento Banana Festival, the SF Black MBA All White Soirée and the Sacramento Cultural Expo.
