Police arrested a San Pedro man suspected of breaking into a convenience store and also trying to burglarize a cannabis retailer over the weekend in Pacifica.
Around 1 a.m. Saturday, officers from the Pacifica Police Department responded to a potential burglary at a cannabis retailer on the 2100 block of Palmetto Avenue. According to the security company, a man had been trying to enter the business. Though he damaged the store entrance, he could not get in and left the scene.
Police found the suspect, Curtis Lee Smith Jr., 32, in a nearby vehicle and arrested him.
Investigators found evidence connecting Smith Jr. to the attempted burglary at the cannabis retailer and other potential thefts.
Smith Jr. also appeared to be involved in a burglary that occurred earlier that night. Around 5:40 a.m. on Saturday, police responded to a reported burglary at a convenience store on the 100 block of Manor Drive where someone had broken a window to enter the store.
Using the store’s surveillance video, police determined that Smith Jr. was also involved in this burglary before attempting to rob the cannabis retailer.
Smith Jr. was booked into the county jail on suspicion of crimes related to burglary, attempted burglary, vandalism and possessing stolen property.
