Amador County – The Ione Policed Department this week said a local burglary investigation has led to two Sacramento suspects and multiple felony cases in the greater Sacramento region. IPD Chief Michael L. Johnson announced the developments in the local case in a release Thursday. Johnson said in July, Ione Police Department responded to the 800 block of Fairway Drive to a reported burglary. Officers discovered forced entry into the residence and theft of a computer, credit cards, and other personal items. Johnson said: “Over the next several days, despite cancellation of the credit cards and bank accounts, the suspect (or suspects) used the credit card to purchase thousands of dollars in merchandise and even opened a new line of credit fraudulently assuming the victims identification.” During the course of the investigation, IPD “was successful in gaining surveillance videos at locations where the merchandise had been purchased.” Johnson said Ione police identified the suspects involved, and “a search warrant was served on the suspects’ cellular phone account.” That information led authorities to a residence. Johnson said IPD “solicited the assistance of the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department to execute a felony probation search” at the residence in Sacramento County. Several stolen property items from the Ione burglary, along with other identified stolen property, was discovered in the search. The investigation has linked these suspects to at least four other burglaries in Folsom, Woodland, and the Sacramento region, Johnson said. Suspects Arnold Kang and Rosa Chang are in custody on unrelated warrants and probation violation charges. Arrests warrants for the pending burglary, possession of stolen property, forgery, and identity theft related charges are currently being sought through the Amador County District Attorney’s office.
