Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies, detectives investigating numerous weekend vehicle burglaries in Cold Springs

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating multiple vehicle burglaries which occurred over the weekend in the Woodland Village neighborhood of Cold Springs.

Patrol deputies were initially called out to a residence on Aquamarine Drive shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 5, 2021, to reports of a vehicle burglary in progress.  That potential victim watched on her security system live-stream as a suspect was attempting to break into her vehicle. The potential victim states when the suspect opened her car door – she immediately re-locked the car, causing the suspect to run away. Deputies collected images from her security system for evidence.

Then, later Sunday morning, around 8:00 a.m. deputies were called to Magnetite Drive in Cold Springs to another report of a vehicle burglary. Patrol deputies canvassed the Woodland Village neighborhood and identified more victims. They also collected more security footage of the suspect.
