This is a great example to remember when viewing crime stats for the local area. Many residents of Antioch are creating havoc in other cities, and most of these will never show up in the crime log here. If you watch tv news and read other newspapers looking for this, you will be unpleasantly surprised to find how often Antioch comes up as the perp’s residence.
