Police are asking for the community’s support after one or more people fired bullets that struck three unoccupied vehicles in San Mateo earlier this month, police said.
About 6:30 p.m. Feb. 5, officers from the San Mateo Police Department responded to a report of possible gunfire in the area of North Idaho Street and Bayswater Avenue, according to police. When officers arrived they found evidence that one or more people had fired a gun from the intersection toward the 800 block of North Idaho Street.
The rounds were found and no one was hit though bullets struck three separate unoccupied vehicles. It’s likely the incident was gang-related, according to police
