Robert GrahamThe California Highway Patrol has made more carjacking and gun-related arrests in Oakland as part of the agency's original blitz last month, the governor's office announced on Tuesday.
Since Feb. 5, CHP officers have arrested 168 suspects, recovered 360 stolen vehicles, and seized 16 crime-linked firearms, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a news release.
That includes the 71 arrests and 145 stolen cars recovered during a five-day period from Feb. 5 to 9, when 120 additional CHP officers were deployed to Oakland.
The most recently announced arrests were made by the normal 72 officers who traditionally work in Oakland and the East Bay, officials said.
