Eastvale – The streets of Eastvale were alive with the sound of a helicopter and sirens early this morning. Residents reported hearing sirens and a helicopter circling the Citrus Ave. area around 3am.
According to one Eastvale resident who lives near Citrus /Sumner, “ a black vehicle crashed into a car in my neighbor’s driveway . Then the person inside the vehicle ran out of the vehicle towards their backyard and jumped over the fence to the trail/park area behind”.
As posted to our Eastvale Community News Facebook Page by a resident who lives on Morning Mist near Citrus/ Sumner, “ When I woke up this morning at 4, I heard the helicopter so I peeked out my window and saw about 8 police vehicles, an ambulance and a fire truck. They were here until about 5:30am when they were towing a vehicle from my neighbor’s driveway”.
Another resident posted to our Facebook, that she too was awakened by the incident, “ Two officers were banging on our door this morning. They had a police dog and wanted to search our backyard for a suspect. The helicopter was flying overhead”.
A suspect was in custody, according to the Riverside Sheriff’s Department, as of 8:30am this morning. This is an on-going investigation and more information, such as what charges will be filed, and if there are any more suspects, will be released later.
