Felony, DUI arrests, 22 cars impounded, 4 stolen vehicles recovered, 30 citations issued during Antioch sideshows
More than 200 cars, 300 spectators at 2 intersections
By Antioch Police Department
Last night, Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, we teamed up with our friends at CHP Golden Gate for a DUI and sideshow suppression detail funded by CA Office of Traffic Safety. Our planning paid off. We located two intersections where more than 200 vehicles and roughly 300 spectators were gathering to start a sideshow.
Eventually, the crowd overtook Hillcrest Avenue and the E. 18th Street intersection, blocking traffic and preventing fire trucks and ambulances from getting through. Together, we stopped the activity before it escalated further.
- 22 vehicles seized for 30 days
- 4 stolen vehicles recovered
- 30+ citations issued
- Several felony arrests made
- 1 DUI arrest
Sideshows are not only dangerous for drivers and spectators they also put our entire community at risk by blocking emergency vehicles from doing their jobs.
A big thank you to @chpgoldengate for partnering with us to keep our community safe!
