At 1:30 pm Wednesday, Antioch Police officers were summoned to the 2800 block of Vista Way where they arrested two subjects who were in the process of ransacking a home.
A witness, knowing the residents were not home at this time, called and reported seeing two subjects enter into the side yard. Both subjects were seen at the front door just prior to this.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the residence forced open. During a check of the interior, an adult male and juvenile male were located. They were in the process of ransacking the interior and placing items from the residence into bags. Both attempted to flee, but were quickly apprehended. Both had several items belonging to the Victims on their person at the time of arrest.
The juvenile (17) was later booked into Juvenile Hall and the adult (18) was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. This apprehension was thanks to the alertness and cooperation of neighborhood residents.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Antioch Police Department at (925) 778-2441. You may also text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using key word “ANTIOCH”. Any further inquiries into the status of this case should be done via the Media Access Line.

I love it, lets all watch out for our neighbors,each other, and put a stop to the property crime in our towns.
That’s what good neighbors do for each other . Glad they got those jerks off our streets
It really is wonderful that they were caught. People need to know, just because there’s no audible alarm doesn’t mean there’s no alarm. Often, by the time you have entered a protected zone, you have set off alerts which mean that footage of you and your vehicle is being passed from smartphone to smartphone, from individuals to neighborhood and official agencies. Getting rid of the camera won’t get rid of the footage. Getting rid of the equipment inside the residence won’t get rid of the footage. It’s gone, it’s out there, and you are busted.
