Sacramento police are actively investigating a series of seven commercial burglaries that occurred within a roughly 24-hour period, striking businesses across the city. The incidents have left local business owners on edge and authorities searching for those responsible.

According to police reports, the crimes took place overnight and into the early morning hours. The targeted businesses spanned different areas of Sacramento, suggesting a coordinated effort by the perpetrators. While a full list of affected establishments has not been released, the pattern indicates a brazen spree of property crime.

Investigators are currently collecting evidence, including surveillance footage from the vicinity of the break-ins, to identify suspects.
