Suspected female burglar crew arrested

The incident originally started in Burlingame when police put out a countywide alert for a group of subjects who were suspected of committing an auto burglary in their city about 40 minutes earlier.

Later in San Mateo, an alert witness heard the sound of shattering glass then saw what they thought was a man fleeing in a Hyundai occupied by two additional subjects in the Whole Foods parking lot, according to police.

Officers responded and a few minutes later an unmarked patrol car noticed the trio driving through the Marina Shopping Center parking lot, a known hot spot of recent auto burglaries, according to police.

Additional officers responded and a marked patrol car attempted to pull the suspects over, but they fled north on Highway 101. Law enforcement from San Mateo, California Highway Patrol and Daly City participated in the chase. The women exited on Cesar Chavez Street in San Francisco and their car was partially disabled by a flat tire. The car eventually rolled to a stop against a light pole, according to police.

They were taken into custody without further incident and no injuries or damage to the car were reported from the collision, according to police.

Property from multiple auto burglaries committed by the trio in a single day, including two in Burlingame, two in South San Francisco and three in San Mateo were recovered. Additional collaboration with Redwood City police indicates the crew was responsible for no less than 50 burglaries throughout the county, according to police.

Police remind the public to report suspicious behavior, remain calm when calling 911 and be sure to indicate location, what happened, any possible suspect description and they fled.
