Auto Burglary Arrest
Central Station’s Plainclothes Team has done a great job this week capturing Auto Burglary suspects, arresting approximately 80 suspects year to date. On August 4, 2015, I mentioned to the team that I would like to see them at the National Night Out event. Sergeant McDevitt replied that first they would like to capture an auto burglar suspect and they did. At 1:00 p.m., they were around Ghirardelli Square, traveling at Larkin and Beach when Officer Richins and Inspector Paulsen observed 2 men looking into windows of parked cars. The team, Officers Christensen and Murphy, along with Sergeant McDevitt joined in the surveillance. At Polk and Bay, they observed one suspect break a car window, reach in and pass a backpack to the second suspect. The first suspect was captured right away and the second suspect took off running. After a foot pursuit, the second suspect was taken into custody. One suspect resides in Stockton, Ca, and the other, a juvenile, is from San Francisco. The victim, a tourist, residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, was glad we recovered his camera, camera lens, laptop and backpack, totaling $4,300 worth of property. Excellent police work by one of the best plainclothes team in the City! Read Central 080615.
