On Sept. 17 at 9:39 p.m., SFPD citywide plainclothes officers were deployed to a robbery/ burglary abatement operation when dispatch broadcast a burglary in progress at a business on the 1600 block of Balboa Street in the Richmond District.
As if a suspected arsonist torching the Great Wall Hardware store on Taraval Street were not bad enough, within a week, burglars ransacked the business twice, making it that much harder for the owner Albert Chow to recover.
On Sept. 3, at approximately 3:20 a.m., an SFPD patrol sergeant was conducting passing calls on the 1800 block of Taraval Street where a store had recently experienced a string of burglarizes, as well as property damage due to a fire currently being investigated by Arson Task Force.
Beginning Nov. 13, 2022, a series of commercial burglary incidents occurred at a number of different locations in the City of San Francisco. The burglaries followed a similar modus operandi in which the suspect would force entry through the front of the commercial business, causing property damage.
