DNA evidence leads to arrest of 2023 Antioch burglary suspect in Redding
The Wheels of Justice never stop
UPDATE: Details on suspect with history of arrests, DNA evidence
By Antioch Police Department
Last year, Officer Kawalya was sent to investigate a burglary where a vehicle had been stolen! During his investigation, he located a key item of evidence. That item had the suspect’s DNA which the Contra Costa Sheriff’s crime lab was able to match. Officer Kawalya authored a warrant for the suspect and the search was on!
He thought he got away but you’re never out of reach of the long arms of the law. Thanks to our friends at the Redding Police Department, they were able to arrest him on the warrant and he was transported back to APD to face charges.
UPDATE: According to Lt. Desmond Bittner, the suspect’s name is, “K.C. Moore, age 42. He’s from Antioch, born and raised. The incident occurred in March 2023.”
Bittner also shared, “officers recovered DNA from the swabs of the steering wheel and shifting knob in the car that was stolen.”
“Moore was charged with burglary and vehicle theft,” he added.
According to the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office, Moore’s middle name is Allen and as of Oct. 17 he had bonded out of custody.
According to localcrimenews.com, Moore has a history of arrests by multiple agencies dating back to 2014 for crimes including previous vehicle thefts, assault with a deadly weapon or assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, multiple weapon and drug charges, and possession of burglar’s tools.
