The arrest of a San Francisco man for shoplifting led to the recovery of stolen property from two other burglaries in San Francisco on Saturday night.
At about 11:20 p.m., officers responded to a call at the Safeway in the Fairmont Shopping Center on Hickey Boulevard on report of a shoplifting in progress. When they arrived, a store employee pointed out someone who had just left without paying.
Clair Quinnine, 47, was standing next to a white van when police located and detained him. After searching his van, officers found the un-bagged groceries, diapers and meat he had just stolen, as well as property that was stolen from two separate burglaries in San Francisco.
Police also found a glass smoking pipe and a controlled substance in the van.
Quinnine was booked into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia, petty theft, possession of stolen property, misappropriation of property and conspiracy.
