Two Antioch armed carjacking suspects arrested in Discovery Bay
CHP, Sheriff’s Office assist
By Antioch Police Department
On Tuesday morning, Nov. 21, 2023, at approximately 8:50 am, we began getting calls from employees reporting suspicious subjects wearing masks and looking into vehicles in the parking lot of 4041 Lone Tree Way in the Bluerock Center. As our patrol officers were driving to check them out, we got a call from a victim of an armed carjacking. The suspects were armed with a gun and took the victim’s Honda Accord.
Our dispatch center quickly began calling neighboring agencies and our patrol teams began searching the area. The vehicle and subjects were soon located in nearby Discovery Bay.
11/24/23 UPDATE: According to Antioch Police spokesman Sgt. Price Kendall, the suspects were both 18-year-old males and booked into the Martinez Detention facility. “That is all we will be releasing,” he added.
We would like to thank all of the witnesses to this incident for quickly calling and to thank both CHP and the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance leading to the quick arrests of these suspects. This is a great example of our community and neighboring agencies collaborating with us!
