Let’s hope they don’t get out. They already have warrants out for their arrest and their response is to that is to commit more crimes. Keep them locked up and let’s see them try preying on people like them.
“Armed robberies” also deserve a search warrant of the suspects home.
Great Job Officer Desiderio!!! Keep up the great work. Antioch needs more cops like you.
PHOTOS now we are dealing with possible home invasion. They need to release the photos like they release felons.
I am sure that these serial criminals are cut loose and walking free , ready to look up any one stupid enough to give their full name “maria” ,just saying.
Can we play a round of guess the suspect description?
“Play” racist much? Or is that a full time feature of your persona?
Curious how the post is racist unless you are jumping to conclusions. Are you playing ? What are you implying? It only says guess the description. Seems you have some thoughts?
Good work APD. Now, will Ms. Becton prosecute?
Why don’t we start with a guessing who you are who’s so brave to make this kind of comment behind a fake name.
Wanna play?
Always with the “R” card.
The parents of these degenerates should be arrested for gross negligence in raising their criminal spawns.
