Listen to this note:
Following a recent announcement by Oakland officials showing a reduction in nearly all types of crime since last year, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has helped recover more than 880 stolen vehicles.
Authorities said 887 vehicles were stolen, 47 firearms related to crimes were seized and 440 suspects linked to organized crime were arrested.
This announcement comes on the heels of recent data released by the Oakland Police Department reporting a 33 percent drop in crime compared to the same period last year.
