Suspects in a Sunday afternoon carjacking in Antioch were apprehended in Pleasant Hill after their stolen car collided with another vehicle, Pleasant Hill police said.
Antioch police were investigating a carjacking in their city at
about 12:45 p.m. Sunday when the stolen car was spotted on westbound state highway 4 by a Pittsburg police officer.
The stolen car made its way onto southbound Interstate Highway 680 in Pleasant Hill, where at about 1:18 p.m. the car was involved in a collision on the Gregory Lane offramp, police said.
The suspects then fled into the nearby Courtyard shopping center on Contra Costa Boulevard, where they were apprehended by officers.
No one was injured in either the carjack or the Gregory Lane collision.
The names of the suspects have not been released.
All the reporting agencies such as newspapers and video station never ID the race (??) of the perps. How can the general citizenry help to locate these miscreants when generalities is given as male, approx. 20-30 yrs old and xx in height!!
Pure BS and stupid PC!
So would race in the above description help you anymore? I didn’t think so. Nice try at deceiving us.
They do that because people might see a connection with who’s committing most of the crimes. They don’t want you putting two in two together. Certainly everybody’s equal under the law but apparently we are not all equal with abilities, temperance, and vision. By the way good job Pleasant Hill police
And please tell us who is committing most of the crime.
They caught the perps. You don’t need to know who what where, etc. And records are irrelevant, until they go before a judge. If they are related, then you already know all that stuff. Sometimes people can be such Nosy Nellies. Now, if they were on the loose in the area, the PD could issue a BOLO. But not in this case. Sorry for the rant.
Thank you for explaining why description were not needed. Some people want to add ammunition to their preconceived belief but they did not ask for a description of the car.
@Doh: I agree that those notions are false and some of the viewpoints expressed here are reactionary. However, the first thing they will tell you in journalism school is the facts of the stories are import: the what, where, who, why, when, and how.
If they’re not back to being loose in the area already, they will be soon. I’d like to know who to avoid.
Prediction, on probation or parole.
Driving thru antioch with doors always locked.
In 1980s was a pretty nice town, not any more.
Oakland Police are now being asked to think twice, before pulling over and giving people of color who break the laws a ticket. I am not making this up. CRAZY
Yes that is crazy. But, it’s not surprising, because this is California, the state that does all it can to support and encourage criminals and crime.
I drove through the aftermath and could definitely see who was involved here.
Seems to me this type of crime really needs to be punished much more severely. Where are the law makers and what is there CURRENT position on this ???
