On Tuesday, February 21, 2017, the Sacramento Police Department’s Post Release Community Supervision Unit (PRCS) was working proactively to combat the recent increase in robberies targeting Asian victims in our region.   The team’s emphasis was to focus their enforcement efforts on probationers, PRCS offenders and parolees.  On the above date, the team conducted a compliance check at a home on the 4500 block of 45th Street.  Their investigation focused on 33-year old, Stavro Kokkos (pictured), a PRCS probationer living in the area where many of robberies had recently occurred. 

During the search, officers located several guns, chemical agent grenades, and over 10,000 rounds of ammunition.  A search warrant was obtained for the rest of the residence which included two gun safes. Overall, officers seized two smoke grenades, a chemical agent grenade, illegal ammunition, several destructive devices, and 71 firearms (10 of which were illegal assault weapons).  As a precaution, the department’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit (EOD) responded for possible explosive devices that were located. 

Stavro Kokkos, who was projected to discharge PRCS in May, could have slipped through the cracks if not for the work of the department’s Crime Analysis Unit.  This unit, while reviewing crime data, identified Kokkos as a person monitored under PRCS and living in the vicinity of the recent robberies.  Stavro Kokkos was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail for numerous weapons charges and a probation violation.  Additionally, 57-year old, Nickolas Kokkos (pictured), father of Stavro Kokkos, was booked for numerous weapons charges.
