Some residents of the Anatolia/SunRidge neighborhood of Rancho Cordova are concerned that there has been a recent increase in crime. With five home burglaries in the past week they have reason to be alarmed. The Rancho Cordova Post investigated to uncover the facts and reveal more information about the true nature of the suspected rash of home burglaries. Here’s what we found out.
We spoke to Rancho Cordova Police Detective Sergeant Pete James to get actual crime statistics for the past three months starting November 1, 2009. Overall the crime statistics year over year for the period are almost flat. In the 3 month period from November 1st to February 8th the total number of crimes rose 1 from 26 to 27 in 2008/09 to 2009/10 respectively. The reporting covers crimes of burglary, larceny, simple assault, and vandalism only in the Anatolia/SunRidge neighborhoods.
