On October 17, 2026, another burglary occurred in the Northeast District. Several thousand dollars’ worth of unique jewelry and collectible coins were stolen in that burglary.
Northeast and Northwest Policing District detectives collaborated on the investigations. Through their investigations, investigators determined Jordon Packard was responsible for the burglaries in both policing districts.
On October 21, 2026, Northeast and Northwest detectives arrested Packard near Blackstone Avenue and Santa Ana Avenue. During the arrest, detectives recovered several pieces of gold jewelry on Packard, including a distinctive gold necklace that was recently stolen.
