Santa Rosa Man Arrested with Booby-Trapped Guns at Home
A 64-year-old Santa Rosa man was arrested after authorities discovered an illegal cache of weapons, some of which were booby-trapped, at his residence.

Law enforcement agencies are urging business owners to take extra precautions to secure their ATMs and to report any suspicious activity to the police. They recommend installing surveillance cameras, ensuring proper lighting around the machines, and regularly checking for signs of tampering.
