On December 27, 2022, a Tracy Police Department Officer assigned to Patrol responded to reported mail theft at an apartment complex located in the 2900 block of West Lowell Avenue, where multiple mailboxes at the apartment complex were found to have been broken into. Based on photos from nearby security cameras, suspect vehicle information was developed and associated with a residence in Stockton. Suspects were identified as Edgardo Diaz (35 years old of Stockton) and Sabrina Burns (27 years old of Stockton) as suspects.
Once Diaz and Burns were identified the Tracy Police Department Special Enforcement Team (SET) worked quickly to author and serve a search warrant for the Stockton residence with assistance from the General Investigations Unit (GIU) on December 29, 2022. Through their search, officers located dozens of victims of mail and identity theft, along with 30 grams of methamphetamine and a loaded un-serialized P80 Glock-style pistol.
SET Officers have contacted the United States Postal Service Inspector’s Office for assistance contacting victims and consideration of federal charges.
