SFPD Arrests Burglary Suspect Involved in Three Separate Burglaries

On October 18, 2024, at approximately 12:05 a.m., San Francisco Police Officers from Mission Station responded to the 600 block of Van Ness Ave regarding a burglary of a business.

Officers arrived on scene and observed obvious signs of forced entry to the business. Officers conducted a walkthrough of the building with the assistance of the K-9 unit. The initial search of
the premises revealed no potential suspects. Officers were advised by the owner of the business that an unknown suspect burglarized the premises and stole property from the building.

Through the course of the investigation, a patrol sergeant located a potential suspect with the description provided near the area of 18th and South Van Ness Ave. The suspect attempted to
flee and was taken into custody without incident by officers.

Officers developed probable cause to arrest 35-year-old male Joshua Davis.

Davis was booked into San Francisco County Jail for the following charges: burglary in the second degree (459 2nd PC), felony vandalism (594 (b)(1) PC), possession of burglary tools (466
PC), receiving stolen property (496(a) PC), theft or misappropriation of lost property (485 PC), resisting arrest (148(a)(1) PC), and three outstanding warrants out of San Francisco and Sacramento, CA.

A review of recent burglaries has led investigators to investigate connections to past incidents based on similarities in the suspect description, victim similarities, and modus operandi (M.O.).
Investigators identified and determined Davis's involvement in two additional burglaries of businesses that occurred on March 3, 2024, and August 3, 2024, in the Ingleside and Central
Districts. Davis was charged for these two additional burglaries.

Although an arrest has been made, this remains an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD. You may remain anonymous.

San Francisco police arrested a suspect involved in two separate violent attacks on senior citizens, including a 90-year-old man and a disabled man, Chief Bill Scott announced Wednesday.

“These callous attacks on our most vulnerable community members are unconscionable,” Chief Scott said. “Thankfully our officers were able to identify the suspect and make a swift arrest. These kinds of attacks will never be tolerated in San Francisco, and we will do everything within our power to bring the victims justice in these cases.”

On October 15 at approximately 10:19 a.m. the suspect charged and attacked a 90-year-old man on a Muni bus in the areas of Bryant and 3rd streets. The suspect struck the victim multiple times in the head and kicked the victim after he fell to the ground.

The suspect fled the scene before police and paramedics arrived and treated the victim. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital where he is being treated for life-threatening injuries.

Officers collected evidence at the scene, including video surveillance.

In a second incident, at approximately 12:30 p.m., several witnesses reported a suspect shoved a 68-year-old man, who uses a walker, to the ground at Cyril Magnin and Eddy Street at Hallidae Plaza. The victim struck his head on the ground and was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers in the area were flagged down about the attack and spotted a man matching the suspect’s description in UN Plaza. Officers engaged in a foot pursuit and with assistance from patrol units in the area, officers arrested 27-year-old Jahad Antoine.

Antoine was booked in San Francisco County jail for resisting or delaying arrest (148(a)(1) PC), elder abuse (368(b)(1) PC), assault likely to produce great bodily injury (245(a)(4) PC) and numerous warrant violations.

Officers determined Antoine was also the suspect in the earlier assault on Muni and booked him on additional charges of assault with a deadly weapon likely to produce great bodily injury (245.2 PC), battery against an operator, driver or passenger on a bus (243.3), elder abuse (368(b)(1)PC), inflicting great bodily injury on a person who is 70 years of age or older (12022.7(c) PC).

SFPD Arrests 10 Suspects in Organized Retail Crime Operations in the Taraval District

To help reduce retail thefts and to hold people who commit these crimes accountable, San Francisco Police officers assigned to Taraval Station pre-planned shoplifting and retail theft abatement enforcement operations to address Organized Retail Crimes (ORC). These operations involved coordinated efforts of uniformed and plainclothes officers who wait to arrest criminals who shoplift from retail businesses. Retail businesses located on the 3200 block of 20th Avenue and the 200 block of Winston Drive were chosen for operations due to the high number of shoplifting incidents the businesses were experiencing.

Between the dates of October 8 and October 13, 2024, the operations resulted in the arrest of 10 suspects for Organized Retail Crime and petty theft. 7 adult suspects were cited and released at the scene. 3 adult suspects were booked at San Francisco County Jail for outstanding warrants in addition to the on-view theft charges. The stolen property taken by the suspects was seized by officers during the operations and returned to the stores. Officers are conducting similar ORC operations throughout the city and making a number of arrests in other retail business locations.

As part of a $15.3 Million grant awarded in 2023 by the State of California for Organized Retail Theft Prevention SFPD is committed to addressing the issue that has greatly affected our community. Our officers have made dozens of ORC arrests in recent months and will continue to conduct these operations throughout San Francisco to reduce thefts at local businesses.
