Antioch should be thankful that Crime isn’t high. Great job Mayor, keep up the hard work you do for your citizens.
Can we get a map of these. Maybe see if we can detect a pattern and can warn the next area to be hit.
This is nuts how no one has been caught.
I would suggest using the garage to park your vehicle to lessen the chance of becoming a victim of these thieves.
Sure am glad that “crime is down” in Antioch!
Adding up vehicle thefts for the year it come out to approximately 630.
But mayor claims crime is down, must be in an alternate universe.
Has been reported Antioch has no officers assigned to traffic enforcement.
Citizens of Antioch your property values and city are circling the drain.
