SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Antioch Police Department officers collected "trophies" from crime scenes and displayed the mementos on a mantle, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed after an FBI raid. Ten current and former Antioch and Pittsburg police officers were simultaneously arrested in a multi-state FBI raid Thursday. A federal grand jury handed down four indictments stemming from an 18-month investigation into East Bay law enforcement.

Officers collected "mementos ... from their attacks on the people of Antioch," he said.K-9 Unit Officer Morteza Amiri...
