Four teenagers were arrested and a replica firearm was seized following a carjacking Saturday night in Antioch and a police pursuit that ended in Pleasant Hill, police said.
Antioch police were notified just after 11 p.m. that a man was carjacked at gunpoint in the 3400 block of Deer Valley Road.
An Antioch officer attempted to make a stop after spotting the car on state Highway 4 near L Street, but the driver fled and was pursued to Pleasant Hill, where the car crashed into a residential garage.
All four youths, ages 13 to 15, were arrested, and one of the passengers had a replica firearm, police said.
Police said one of the teens had already been arrested twice before this year for carjacking.
if you keep letting them out, what the hell do you expect?
Their Parents need to be arrested and held accountable.
Did anyone ask if they “needed” the car?
Oh Boy, that’s likely to occur! They won’t even be detained…
Co Co County is already planning to close it’s Juvenile facilities.
Why NOT commit crime if there’s no accountability!
It’s reparations, not a car jacking. They needed to have access to a car so they could drive downtown and liberate merchandise from store windows. Needing to have a car to get around is racist, and you shouldn’t have property anyway. Imagine no possessions….. it’s easy if you try…… puke!
Can you please help me find my van. Its been 3 months. Im a single mom and all of my kids items and mine were in there. We had moved to bay point but were renting a small room which didnt give us room for our things. People need to think about others anf how it affects them to get robbed.

Thank u
These teens have carjacked 3 times this year?
At 13 – 15 y/o… these people are not being raised in a structured home life.
They will escalate their crimes to killing someone, then we’ll warehouse them for 70 years.
Just secretly exterminate them 1980s Cold War style by poking them with a poisoned umbrella tip. Save the Taxpayers & save someone’s life
Until it’s your kid.
Extermination? Really??!!
If it’s my kid he never sees the light of day again. Too many parents either don’t parent at all or they’re terrified their child won’t like them.
Masked Singer, how about until it’s YOUR kid getting carjacked at gunpoint with REAL firearms once these fine young gems get a little harder?
Masked, call it a late term abortion. I’m sure you believe in that.
Masked Singer – If your kids carjacked someone 3 times in less than a year, you failed as a parent.
Make Big Mama proud
Carjacking is a serious offense.
Joggers out doing they thang…
So is anybody aware of AB145 for pedophiles has passed? Basically CA now allows pedophiles to rap children within the 10yr slot and also apply to remove themselves from being registered with good behavior.
That is in Nevada.
SB145 is a California bill reducing the punishment crime for having anal or oral sex with a minor and not having to register as a sex offender. It was written by Scott Weiner (go figure) and passed by our lovely Democrats.
It’s on Newsom’s desk for signature right now.
Despite those trying to spread hysteria, this is not a pedophile bill. It amends an existing lawl to allow judges the same sentencing and registration discretion in cases involving same sex individuals as it does opposite sex individuals. Currently, a judge may weight the evidence in cases (think statutory rape cases) and determine whether the defendant must register as a sex offender. If the individuals are same sex, there is no discretion, it’s an automatic registry. This bill allows equal protection under the law. If you don’t like the original law, fight to change it. However, there are many young men who had to register because they had an under-age girl friend. I’m not condoning this behavior but it doesn’t automatically make you a sexual predator. By the way, this is one of the pieces of “evidence” supporting the crazy QAnon conspiracy theory.
SB145 leaves registration as a sex offender up to the discretion of the judge. In Kalifornia it’s the same as removing the registration requirement.
$50 says they’re back on the streets tomorrow
BWWwwaaaahhhaahhaa….
You’re assuming they were detained! Prolly released to their fine parents on scene…
The kid who has been arrested twice before already this year should be locked up with his mother. Sorry, but I doubt a dads around.
Dad’s not around? Who do you think taught the brat the family trade?
this is their 3rd carjacking yet they are free… what the hell is going on?
Contra costa DA – Diana “Soros” Becton is defunding juvenile hall through her ‘Reimagine’ program.
A piece of advice: when in your vehicle “lock the doors.”
When they gotta gun pointed at you, your windows are no protection.
You either open your locked door for them or you drive off & gamble whether they’ll shoot you.
A locked car will not stop a bullet, unless your car is bulletproof.
Rosebud must be able to visually discern the difference between a handgun and a replica.
Helloooo D.A.? It only matters if it’s your car?
Anyone know Dianne’s address? Asking for some friends.
This car flew past me on the freeway with two police cars trailing it near Grant St on Saturday night doing maybe a mighty 80 mph. I was wondering who runs from the cops at less than 90mph lol. Kids…
Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton is soft on crime. She is the sole reason crime will continue to spiral out of control. Next election she MUST go. Term-Limits for EVERY elected office! Incumbents are not the people’s representative…they are whores to unions!
There was a time when parents were responsible for the actions of their kids.
Hold them in detention, no bail, no release, then go pick up their parents or guardians charge them with dereliction of duty. They are just as guilty as the little punks that they created.
Today’s young criminals don’t experience the carrot and the stick.
Rather, they get the carrot and the carrot. No wonder they repeat.
Becton won’t do anything to them. Especially if they’re of color. She’ll blame it on the victim, He shouldn’t have been driving around at 11pm.
If Becton had a son he would act like this. She is nothing less than a tool of George Soros and the far-Left anarchist forces destroying our (Democrat-run) cities.
After a thorough swatting, place these miscreants on the fire line and make them work on them until they turn 18. Then, they will be old enough to place in prison.
Update us on their sentencing.
With this District Attorney, . . . . never happen.
Likely comment from the DA (Dumb Ass):
Clearly, these “children” are underprivileged. They deserve to steal whatever they want and injure whomever they so desire. Any action by law enforcement against these “children” will be considered an act of police brutality. In addition, a law suit will be brought against the arresting officers, their families, and the President of the United States. Damages will be sought of $10,000,000 per “child”. This figure reflects the amount of the children’s life-time earnings had they not be traumatized by the soon to be de-funded police.
Just another day in southeast antioch.
Leave it to those running antioch to build a new Police station at other end of town.
Lock them up with their parents….all in the same cell.
After spending a weekend with my homies at L.A. Sheriff, all I have to say is
I’m your huckleberry.

Your neighbors voted for Diane Becton despite the fact it is easily verifiable she was backed by George Soros. George Soros is actively funding the break down of civil society both in the US and Europe. Why is anyone surprised when Becton chooses not to prosecute looters and violent felons such as these serial car jackers? This is the same play book used by DA’s across the country that were hand selected by George Soros. The only surprise to me is our county is not already over run with crime, but there are certainly signs of what’s coming.
Whoever let these juvenile criminals loose after the first crime should be with them doing their now time. I am afraid our county has been taken over by radicals.
Captain Obvious here for your Labor Day lesson in crime prevention.
“Catch-n-Release is probably not the best way to handle carjackers.”
Van Exter, We are over run by crime.
No driver’s licenses at 13-15 years old. Carjacking. Guns and pointing them at people. 20 miles of police chasing. Crashing into a private residence. Wow. If the DA doesn’t charge them…I will be concerned.
@Mom2Boys
You should have been concerned a long time ago. It is too late for the State of California. One party rule has taken effect, and will never be dislodged as long as there are so many people that hate America and themselves running and living in the state.
Cassandra says: Get out while you can. Don’t be the last rat on a sinking ship. At this rate in 10 years there will be no United States and you will be stuck in whatever balkanized sub-region you happen to be in at the time the turbulance ends. Choose wisely.
Well………No dessert for that young man tonight !
3 car jackings. It’s a matter of time before they kill someone. They are headed in the right direction and the department of youth is going to give them a slap on the wrist again. They NEED to be detained until 18.
Just a matter of time before they try to carjack the “wrong” person and they end up being the ones who get killed.
Obviously, they have no concept of word empathy
IF NO consequences for criminal behavior, expect escalation.
As they get older home invasions with functional weapons,
next logical step.
