On September 8, 2022 Sacramento Police Department detectives arrested Jaron Silva, 22, who was wanted for robbery and grand theft related to three separate incidents that occurred in August and early September. In these incidents, Silva ordered cannabis to be delivered to a residence and when the victims arrived to complete the delivery, Silva stole the cannabis from them. In one robbery, he was reported to have brandished a firearm.

These incidents were assigned to detectives from the Sacramento Police Department’s Neighborhood Crimes Unit for follow-up investigation. Detectives then conducted comprehensive follow-up and identified Silva as the suspect in these incidents and subsequently arrested him. During the arrest, detectives located a privately manufactured firearm (pictured below) that is believed to have been used during one of the robberies.

Silva was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail where he was charged with robbery, grand theft, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
