Another large gathering expected at another Brentwood shopping center today, Friday, July 18

Police issue warning for activity at Lone Tree Plaza; possible repeat of last Friday’s gathering

By Brentwood Police Department

In response to information received regarding a large gathering being promoted on social media for Friday, July 18, 2025, the Brentwood Police Department is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.  The activity is expected to be at the Lone Tree Plaza where Trader Joe’s, Marshall’s and In-N-Out Burger are located.

It follows a large gathering last Friday, July 11, 2025, at The Streets of Brentwood and Sand Creek Crossing, where Raley’s and See’s Candy are located across Sand Creek Road. That resulted in vandalism, stores closing early and five people arrested.

There has been an increase across the country experiencing similar large gatherings, including other counties in the Bay Area. This is not isolated to the City of Brentwood. This advisory is being issued to provide transparency around pre-planning efforts and to encourage responsible behavior from all community members.

Summary of Pre-Planning and Safety Measures:

• Out of an abundance of caution, additional law enforcement personnel will be deployed throughout key areas of the community to ensure public safety, respond quickly to any incidents, and deter unlawful activity.
• We have been in communication with key stakeholders, including local business and community partners to ensure a coordinated response and shared situational awareness.
• Local businesses have been contacted to encourage situational awareness and cooperation, with recommendations to report any concerns promptly to authorities.
• We encourage parents and guardians to have open conversations with their children about expectations for appropriate and lawful behavior while unsupervised in public spaces. Responsible conduct is expected from all individuals.
• Zero Tolerance for Unlawful Conduct: Any unlawful activity will be met with appropriate enforcement actions. Criminal behavior, property damage, or acts of violence will not be tolerated and may result in immediate arrest and prosecution.

The Brentwood Police Department is grateful for the continued support of our community. The safety and quality of life for all residents remain our top priority. By working together, we can ensure that public spaces remain safe, welcoming, and respectful for everyone. We appreciate the cooperation of parents, community members, and local businesses in helping us maintain order and public safety.
