Around 8:00 pm Wednesday night, a man entered the ARCO station on Contra Loma Blvd. and Buchanan Road with a mask and robbed the place using a gun. He ran out with just under $1,000 and fled. Police responded within a minute of being dispatched, but the suspect escaped.
Police just missed the suspect as an observer called 9-1-1 upon seeing a man putting on a mask and pulling a gun behind the ARCO station. Before it was relayed to police, the robbery had occurred.
Police searched Buchanan, Contra Loma and Fitzuren Road but came up empty in the search as they were looking for a black male with a white hoody with black graphics who was between 5’6’’ to 5’7’’.
No one was injured in the incident, however, it did close the gas stations store for a while as police investigated. Drivers were able to get gas using their debit cards.
If you have any information about last night’s incident, contact the Antioch Police Department.

Thanks Mike, I live right around the corner and had not heard! That isn’t the first time or even the second. Glad no one was hurt and thanks to the tipster!
Invests in First Responders. The Budget
provides $257 million to support America’s first
responders and the hiring and retention of police
officers and sheriffs’ deputies across the country,
and includes a preference for the hiring of post–
9/11 veterans. This funding builds on the $166
million in COPS Hiring Grants funding enacted
in 2012. These investments assist in building
capacity to enable State and local law enforcement
partners to make the most of their resources and
encourage their most promising and effective
public safety efforts. The Budget includes $4
billion in immediate assistance for the retention,
rehiring, and hiring of police officers in 2012, as
requested by the President in the American Jobs
Act. States and localities will gain a preference
for implementing programs and policies that
focus on the recruitment of post–9/11 veterans for
law enforcement positions.
We need some Grant writers
We need people with faith to step up!
