Antioch Police Arrest 5 Deer Valley Students for Gambling, Locate Gun

by ECT

The Antioch Police Department announced that at 8:30 am Wednesday that they arrested five Deer Valley High School students for illegal gambling and located a firearm.

According to Captain T. Brooks, officers observed a group of teenagers who possibly engaged in illegal gambling at Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley at the Burger King and Chevron. When detectives attempted contact, the group scattered and five male juveniles were ultimately detained and arrested.

Police stated one was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm, one was arrested for possession of marijuana and probation violation, two were arrested for gambling, and the last was arrested for loitering.

According to Brooks, the subject with the loaded firearm was 15-years old. Two subjects were 16, and another was 17.

Brooks stated the surveillance was in response to several complaints in recent weeks about students engaged in illegal activity.  Operations such as this are part of our continuing effort to increase the safety in and around Deer Valley High School and Deer Valley Plaza.

Good Job!! For too long a small number of these bad kids have gotten away with their bad behaviour. Time to weed out the bad ones so the rest of the students can flourish
Thank you Capt Brooks and all the APD

I’ve seen some of these juveniles behind chevron gambling in the little alley. It’s so scary knowing that these teens go to school with loaded guns. We not only got the worst of the worst from other Bay Area cities, but now their kids too!! I hope APD cleans this place up and turns It around soon!! I hate driving through Antioch.
