A camp on top of the Antioch Amtrak station was discovered Thursday, police said, after a bystander reported seeing someone lowering a bicycle down from the station roof.
Officer Tom Lenderman, who responded to the report, found an “unsafe” rooftop camp, the Antioch Police Department wrote in a post on an official Facebook page. The city’s public works department dispatched a boom truck to the train station, which lifted Lenderman onto the roof.
Due to safety concerns, the camp had to be “immediately abated,” police said.
The police department’s Facebook page shared photos of the camp, which included a large yellow tent. The person camping on the roof was described by police as a “transient,” but it is not clear how long they were living there.
“Homelessness is not a crime,” read the caption on the post, “and we try to get our homeless citizens into services so they can have a stable environment.”
Lenderman and the police department have yet to return requests for comment.

Nice secure spot
too bad he blew his cover
Nice camp site with a great view
Wonder what he did in a heavy rain? Things probably got a little deep. Maybe he tarped the top?
Probably gave him a flu shot the minute they got him down.
“… after a bystander reported seeing someone lowering a bicycle down from the station roof.”
A ‘see something, say something’ COMMIE SYMPATHIZER TARGET.
Dangerous scumbags.
Probably his homestead prior to Antioch Amtrak station purchased it via eminent domain, in return gave him just enough money to buy a tent.
