SAN JOSE (CBS SF) -- Several Bay Area police departments have received state funding to help combat auto burglaries.
On Friday, California Assemblymember Kansen Chu presented $3.75 million of newly-secured state funding to the police departments to address smash and grab auto burglaries.
The Santa Clara, Milpitas, Fremont, Newark, and San Jose police departments will each receive $750,000.
