Police in San Francisco arrested six people on multiple felony charges following a retail theft at a business in the Ingleside District on Wednesday.
SAN FRANCISCO – Shortly after 6:30 p.m., officers who were conducting a retail theft operation on the 900 block of Geneva Avenue saw at least eight people rush into the business. The group was seen wearing masks, carrying bags and pulling a wagon-styled cart.According to police, the suspects quickly filled their bags and the wagon with merchandise before fleeing the scene. Officers pursued the group on foot and detained several people without incident.
Last week, SFPD announced that officers are in the midst of conducting 'blitz operations' targeting retail theft in the city. Police said the operations have already led to dozens of arrests and the recovery of thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise. 'Our city will not tolerate criminals ransacking our businesses,' Chief Bill Scott said on October 6.
