On Thursday, February 18, at approximately 4:25 AM, officers were dispatched to the 4600 block of La Vista Drive reference unknown suspects possibly breaking into vehicles. Officers arrived on scene and located a vehicle stopped in the middle of the street, with one male driver inside and two other males in the process of getting into the vehicle. They were carrying a floor jack. The subjects were detained and an initial investigation uncovered materials consistent with catalytic convertor theft within their vehicle.
Additionally, a vehicle in the area appeared to have been a victim of an attempted catalytic convertor theft; most likely thwarted by the officers’ arrival. The three males were arrested and later booked into jail on the charges. Their vehicle was also towed.
The Oakley Police Department truly appreciates the collaboration with its citizens. Together, we can help reduce crime in our City.

They weren’t provided by the OPD. They may all be juveniles.

Normally they do post names or they would specify if they were juveniles . I dont think that they were juveniles . the reporting agency is just slacking in certain areas

They stole my converters 3 x my car & Toyota trucks tundra,sequoia & pickup. They prefer Toyota’s & Honda’s coz they contain a lot of gems to make jewelry. Lucrative buss. Mostly Asians are the culprit. They started in Sacramento going south up to Bay Area.
