YUBA CITY, Calif. - Two people were taken into custody Wednesday by the Yuba City Police Department for financial elder abuse.
Authorities say that in January of 2025, detectives with the Yuba City Police Department were alerted to a possible case of elder abuse occurring at a residence on Esplanade Way in Yuba City.
According to the report, the elderly victims, possibly with diminished faculties, were found to be on the deed for a property on Blackberry Drive in Yuba City, which raised suspicion of financial elder abuse.
According to Yuba City Police, detectives gathered evidence showing the victims had signed documents for the purchase of the property.
Arrest warrants were obtained for Aida Goines, 69, and Roda Delos Santos, 48, both of Yuba City.
On May 7, 2025, police served search warrants at addresses on Esplanade Way and Blackberry Drive. Both suspects were located and arrested without incident and were booked into the Sutter County Jail.
Authorities say that the case is ongoing and has been forwarded to the Sutter County District Attorney’s office for prosecution.
The elderly victims did not suffer a financial loss in the incident but were made financially responsible for the property without their knowledge.
