An operation dubbed “Operation Shattered Glass” by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office netted eight arrests and more than $2 million in stolen goods from a series of burglaries in San Mateo County, according to authorities.
The investigation came to a head in the early morning of Jan. 23 when the Sheriff’s Office crime suppression unit along with other agencies executed eight search warrants and multiple arrest warrants. The warrants stemmed from multiple auto, residential and commercial burglaries throughout the county. Most of the stolen property in these burglaries were electronics, laptops, cameras and commercial retail merchandise. During the investigation into these burglaries, officers were led to an organization in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood that was buying and selling stolen property from the burglaries, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The search warrants were executed at five residences throughout San Mateo County, and two residences and one storage unit in San Francisco. While searching the residences, more than $2 million in personal stolen property was located including electronics, laptops, camera equipment and commercial retail merchandise. A total of eight suspects were arrested and booked into San Mateo County Jail. More than $150,000 in cash was seized during the operation as well as three vehicles and a residence totaling over $1.2 million, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
