Amid surging gun violence, Antioch mayor vows to spend $100k to bring in outside police help
Briefly

"I called on our regional partner agencies to specifically support so we can add extra patrols in the Sycamore corridor," Hernandez-Thorpe said at a press conference Wednesday. "One agency has taken up on that offer."
The shootings - more than a dozen in all - have been concentrated in a three-block radius near the Sycamore Drive corridor and along Cavallo Road.
Hernandez-Thorpe also said the city will be moving forward on a parking permit program for the Sycamore area, particularly on Peppertree Way and Lemontree Way, to restrict access to those areas.
Hernandez-Thorpe added that Antioch's Interim police Chief Brian Addington has also been working with the District Attorney's office seeking assistance in dealing with the shooting spree.
