Today, the Antioch Police Department announced the arrest of a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old related to multiple purse snatching cases in both Antioch and Pittsburg.<\/p>\n
According to Antioch Police, on July 27 at 10:06 pm Wal-Mart employees contacted the Antioch Police Department regarding two males inside the store. They explained that detectives were in the store looking for the males earlier in the day related to a string of purse snatching cases in both Antioch and Pittsburg in the last few weeks. The males were actively purchasing gift cards using the victim\u2019s credit cards. When they saw officers approaching them they began to flee the store but were detained without incident.<\/p>\n
The investigation led police to Koala Ct where we located a stolen vehicle used in several purse snatch cases over the last week. Detectives were called out and took over the investigation. Pittsburg PD was also informed and will be conducting a parallel investigation for their cases.<\/p>\n
A 17 year old male and 20 year old male were arrested. We will not be releasing the names right now based on the on-going investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
