GOOD AFTERNOON SAC CITY!

A kind citizen brought an opened package that she found at the intersection of S 13 street and Schaller St to our police department this afternoon. Judging by the packaging it appears the contents are still in it. If anyone is missing a package come to the PD and describe what you’re missing. This is being done to secure the integrity of ownership. Thank you all and have a great day!
