• 0:18
  get you caught up. A major narcotics investigation
• 0:21
  has led to one of the largest drug seizures in
• 0:24
  Sacramento County this year. The Sacramento County
• 0:27
  Area Intelligence narcotics team known as saint
• 0:30
  working alongside the dea and sacramento county
• 0:34
  district attorney's office concluded a months
• 0:36
  -long investigation into a drug trafficking organization
• 0:39
  operating in sacramento county authorities executed
• 0:43
  11 residential search warrants, and served nine
• 0:47
  arrest warrants during their operation. Investigators
• 0:50
  seized 61 firearms, including rifles and handguns,
• 0:54
  nearly 229 pounds of methamphetamine, more than
• 0:58
  six pounds of heroin, and over $18 ,000 in cash,
• 1:03
  as well as a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle as part
• 1:07
  of an asset forfeiture action. The suspects are
• 1:11
  now facing multiple charges including drug trafficking,
• 1:14
  conspiracy, possession of controlled substances
• 1:16
  for sale, felony possession of a firearm, and
• 1:20
  being armed during the commission of a felony.
• 1:23
  All suspects remain in custody at the Sacramento
• 1:26
  County Main Jail on $1 million bail. In a separate
• 1:30
  incident, Sacramento police arrested a motorcyclist
• 1:34
  near 24th Street and 34th Avenue after discovering
• 1:37
  the rider had multiple outstanding warrants.

  Officers say the suspect resisted arrest before

  additional charges. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:51
  County is recognizing National Foster Care Month
• 1:54
  by highlighting the importance of kinship care
• 1:57
  and community members who help support children
• 2:00
  during difficult times. The Department of Child,
• 2:05
  Family, and Adult Services recently hosted a
• 2:08
  Kin Town Hall focused on keeping children connected
• 2:12
  to relatives, trusted adults, and familiar communities
• 2:15
  whenever possible. County officials say research
• 2:19
  continues to show that children placed with family
• 2:22
  members or close family friends often experience
• 2:25
  greater stability, maintain stronger cultural
• 2:27
  connections, and face less trauma. Kinship care
• 2:31
  can include grandparents, aunts, uncles, older
• 2:34
  siblings, teachers, coaches, godparents, or other
• 2:38
  supportive adults already involved in the child's
• 2:41
  life. County leaders say that there remains an
• 2:46
  ongoing need for resources for families willing
• 2:49
  to provide safe and supportive homes for children
• 2:52
  when placement with relatives is not possible.
• 2:56
