A suspect was arrested on July 6 with six converters. There is talk of a County task force to address the problem which is more widespread.

PG&E overlooked a contractor’s involvement in illicit dumping before hiring it to clean up after the Camp Fire.

He admitted to dozens of uncharged crimes including kidnapping, attempted murder and robbery, among others.

In a statement Sunday, police said they shared details of the arrest "in an effort to be transparent and accountable to our community."

June 30 Zoom conversation features Police Chief Bowers and Supervising Deputy Attorney General Nancy Beninati.

Both cases are being investigated as hate crimes, according to Oakland police.

Steven Carrillo has been charged with murder and attempted murder in the drive-by shooting at the time of the May 29 protest.

Bowers calls death of George Floyd “the latest example of a historical pattern of the misuse of force and larger issues of inequity in our country."

Protesters shut down the upper deck of the Bay Bridge for almost 2 hours on Sunday.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced the inquiry as skeptics distrust local law enforcement, suspecting the deaths are lynchings, not suicides.
