The following is from the Concord Police Department:
JOINT ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT INVESTIGATION YIELDS $350,000 IN STOLEN PROPERTY:
For the past several months, the Concord Police Department’s Financial Crimes Unit has been investigating a string of thefts from businesses in the City of Concord.
Through months of investigative work, the Concord Police Department, with support from local retail loss prevention staff, was able to identify a possible fencing location in the City of Oakland.
The Concord Police Department relayed this information to the California Highway Patrol’s Organized Retail Task Force (ORCTF) who conducted a complex and extensive follow-up investigation.
During the early morning hours on Tuesday, the CHP ORCTF conducted a search warrant on the suspected fencing location in the City of Oakland. The result was the seizure of stolen items from various stores around the Bay Area, as well as two firearms. $17,344 cash was seized as proceeds from the retail theft activity.

Prosecute and imprison. The law-abiding public demand it.

Arrests?
🚓 Success! Congratulations Concord and Oakland Police Departments on a Job Well Done! Concord and Oakland residents Salute You! 🚔
Good work law enforcement!
Will the crooks ever see any jail time?
Or will they excused because they came from a disadvantaged group, back ground, etc.?
Pamela Price will reduce the charges and give them probation 😕
And Sunday dinner with the family, sitting next to the daughter.
If she’s still around.
Too bad Nothing will happen. The Alameda County DA is worse than Becton. If you can believe that.
Regardless of county DA both CoCo and Alameda, don’t expect significant incarceration.
Equity . . . . . . . . . woke . . . . .
The police know how to serve and protect the citizens. It’s the political aspect that gets in the way of their duties. Leave them alone so they can do their job the way it should be done. The police should be protected up and down the line.
Many years ago when we moved to Concord, word on the neighborhood street was: “If you’ve done a crime and want to get away… don’t even slow down near Concord.” CPD was reputed to be the best in the Bay Area.
Happy to see maybe we’re going to get to see that coming back around. Thank you CPD👍🏻 and CHP👍🏻
👍🏻
Prop 47 lifted the lid on retail theft and turbocharged those who steal/fence stolen property
as their trade. Pamela Price is beholden to BLM, so prosecution isn’t likely for property
crimes. Let’s see if the Oakland PD makes arrests and post names/photos.
Good job LE – now DAs – do yours.. prosecute to the fullest extent… names, pics? fencing op in Oakland? …nooooooo
Hopefully this story is incomplete and they made arrests at the site and got the goods on who was bringing their stuff to fence.
