Tuesday, August 16, 2005, the Sacramento Police investigated a series of bizarre car jacking and home invasion robberies.  The following time line describes the suspect’s actions.

At 1:31 p.m., the suspect, armed with a knife, approached the first victim at 6600 Weatherford Way demanding the victim’s vehicle.  The suspect fled in a white Plymouth Voyager.  

At 1:38 p.m., the suspect broke into 3415 Lake Terrace Drive in the County of Sacramento demanding a vehicle from the residents.  She was not successful and subsequently went to 3407 Lake Terrace Drive and broke into that residence demanding their vehicle, threatening them with a box cutter.  The suspect stole a 1999 green Chrysler Sebring from the location.

1:58 p.m., at 8900 Pocket Road (Shell Gas Station) the suspect attempted to steal another vehicle.

2:12 p.m., the suspect broke into another residence located at 7252 Camino Del Rey where a male occupant was asleep inside.  The suspect stole the victim’s handgun and fled in his white pick-up truck.

2:35 p.m., the suspect approached a victim at 6851 Golf View Drive.  At gunpoint, the suspect stole the keys to the victim’s vehicle that she was then unable to locate. 

2:36 p.m., the suspect approached another victim at 6730 Golf View Drive.  At gunpoint, the suspect demanded the keys to the victim’s vehicle and fled in a gold Ford F-150.

4:02 p.m., a Sacramento Police Officer spotted the stolen vehicle at Mack Road and Highway 99.   Officers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle but the suspect led the officers on a pursuit that terminated at the dead end of South Parkway.  Officers surrounded the vehicle and attempted to make contact with the suspect.  The suspect did not comply with the officer’s demands to exit the vehicle.  Due to the suspect being armed and the nature of her crimes officers requested additional resources.  After approximately one and a half hours the suspect exited her vehicle and was taken in custody without incident.  Prior to the arrest the suspect was seen consuming pills.  As a precaution the suspect was transported to the U.C. Davis Medical Center for a medical evaluation.  Once medically cleared the suspect will be booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail on a variety of felony charges including home invasion robbery, car jacking, and evasion of a police officer. 

Suspect: Christina Shukry, DOB-07-23-1977.  A picture will not be released at this time due to investigative follow-up.
