On 11-4-21, at approximately 3:30 am, South San Francisco Police Officers responded to a stolen vehicle in their city and provided the Colma Police Department with a Be On the Lookout message. Utilizing the Town of Colma license plate reading cameras Colma officers were able to locate the stolen vehicle passing the camera. Officers responded to the location in an attempt to locate it. Colma Officers located a suspicious vehicle, that at the time, was unknown to be associated to the stolen vehicle. An investigation into the suspicious vehicle, and its occupants, revealed that the occupants were suspects in an array of crimes in multiple jurisdictions.
With the assistance of the South San Francisco Police Department, Daly City Police Department, Broadmoor Police Department, and the San Francisco Police Department Colma Officers were able to organize and file a complex muti-jurisdictional case with our district attorney’s office.
