WALNUT CREEK, CA — Walnut Creek Police arrested three people, recovered a stolen car, and seized two guns and a replica gun, the department reported on Wednesday.

Lastly, should you disregard the first two suggestions, don’t have concealed illegal firearms in the stolen vehicle when you come to visit WC."

Readers heaped praise on the department for the arrests.

Jamie Laudin wrote, "Thanks WCPD! Bad people are not welcome into our town!!"

Barbara Cox agreed, saying, "Thank you for getting these thugs off the streets. Job well done! Stay safe out there."

Justin Morgan was grateful that potential crimes were prevented, "Good job! Certainly prevented the residents from being victimized further by those in custody!"
