Robert GrahamThe California Highway Patrol has made 329 arrests, recovered 606 stolen vehicles and seized 35 firearms in two months, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday.
Newsom marked this as the halfway point of an East Bay operation, when he announced in July he would be quadrupling the number of CHP officer shifts over a four-month period to help with sideshows, carjacking and other criminal activity.
Newsom first announced he'd be sending in the CHP to help out more in Oakland in February; that first operation lasted five days.
