Anyone surprised by this?
The mayor said “things are getting better” so I can’t believe this is happening. It must be some sort of mistake.
The hills are alive with the sound of rap music in Antioch, glorifying drugs prostitution and violence. Police stumble across grow houses on accident. There is no money set aside to clean up these operations. East county and Antioch are full of these homes in every neighborhood, it’s a safe haven. You won’t get busted unless you get robbed while your at Home Depot or the hydroponic shop getting supplies. Hear that beat in your neighborhood Antioch it’s that music again.
I don’t think anything is getting better our GARAGE was broken into Sunday night at 12;30AM by 5 guys seen on camera from neighbor, they took 2 Atv’s and one dirt bike. We called police filed report we are selfs found our our bikes at a section 8 house 4930 timberbrook way Antioch ca we got one back but the other two took off and still have them. They are spray painted black now they have one Atv and one dirt bike riding the streets. And get this mother knew bikes were in garage and did nothing. So no nothing is getting better. 🙁
What were the burglars description?
5 BM’S 15-18 old. One tall with curly black hair another light skin with lots of tattoos.
Typical.
Have your neighbor post the video on YouTube. Hopefully they get caught. I sorry you are going through this tough situation.
If I see any ATVs or dirt bike spray painted black I’m calling the police.
Its time Antioch try to provide some guidance for these kids in the form of activities. The parents aren’t parenting.
Reginald, why would you ask such a question when you know the description is the most common one in Antioch crime?
Crime has become a way of life for parentless teens in Antioch. It does not have to be this way. More youth outreach and programs along with a major expansion at the Orin Allen Youth Facility.
I agree with the description being the most typical one with Antioch criminals. I’ve made this assumption many times in the past and have been almost always correct, but when I do, I get blasted by some mom on here talking about how I’m a racist and I shouldn’t assume her thug kids are criminals and blah blah blah…
