On February 1, 2023, at 3:08 pm, the Antioch Police Department’s Dispatch Center received a call from a resident on Durness Court reporting a burglary in-progress of an occupied residence in the City of Antioch.
Information received reported the occupant was possibly an elderly female. Officers immediately responded to the scene and were assisted by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office Air Unit, which was overhead within minutes.
The Air Unit advised the back door was shattered and there was a vehicle backed into the driveway.
When officers arrived on scene, the suspects, Donley Thompson and Delancey Huff, fled in the vehicle that was in the driveway, striking a police vehicle. No officers were injured because of the police vehicle being struck. Officers pursued the vehicle with the assistance of the Air Unit.
Ultimately, the suspect vehicle got onto State Route 4 and collided with a guardrail near the Hillcrest Drive off-ramp. Huff and Thompson ran across westbound traffic on State Route 4, over the BART tracks in the middle of State Route 4, and through the eastbound lanes of traffic.
Huff and Thompson were attempting to carjack people that were stopped on the eastbound State Route 4 off-ramp at Hillcrest Drive.
Officers chased Huff and Thompson on foot and ultimately took them into custody on the off-ramp. Officers located the victim’s stolen property in the vehicle that was abandoned by the suspects and her property was later returned to her. She was not in the residence at the time of the burglary.
Huff and Thompson were arrested for felony burglary, conspiracy, and reckless evading of a police officer. Huff was on parole for residential burglary and was released from custody on December 22, 2022.

Released in December for burglary. Back at it in February. People could have been killed. This is what liberal policies get you.
If there is no threat of incarceration,
there is no deterrence to criminal behavior
