Sheriff’s deputy reports two arrests in Fish Springs area, says residential burglary calls decreased
Summary
Deputy Cruz told the Gerlach CAB that two people were arrested in connection with residential burglaries between Gerlach and Fish Springs, and credited a local rancher for reporting suspicious activity.
Deputy Cruz of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office gave a brief public‑safety update to the Gerlach CAB, reporting that deputies arrested two people for residential burglary between the Gerlach area and Fish Springs prior to the last scheduled CAB meeting.
Cruz said the arrests have “put a pretty significant dent in the calls regarding residential burglary out in the Fish Springs and Sand Pass area,” and credited a rancher who reported and monitored suspicious activity. Cruz invited questions; none were raised at the meeting.
Why it matters: The update indicates a recent enforcement response to a series of residential burglaries in the remote area and, according to the deputy, a subsequent drop in related calls. The CAB did not take formal action on the report.
