In just one month.....

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Startling statistics coming out from the Governor's office this week about the impact a surge of CHP patrols is having on crime in and around Oakland. Cooperation between agencies is making a difference.

Governor Newsom's office said CHP sting operations have led to the arrests of suspects tied to carjacking rings and gangs in Oakland.

In just one month, elevated CHP presence in the Oakland area has led to the arrests of 168 suspects with 360 stolen vehicles recovered and 16 crime-linked firearms successfully seized.
