SFPD Makes Arrests in Auto Burglary Investigation 24-042
Four suspects taken into custody and thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen property recovered
On May 1, 2024 at approximately 12:15 p.m., San Francisco Police officers from Northern Station were notified of an auto burglary that had just occurred in the area of Steiner and Grove Streets at Alamo Square.
Responding officers who were working a citywide auto burglary and robbery operation recognized the suspect vehicle from a robbery that occurred on April 19, 2024 in the area of Martin Luther King Dr. and Stowe Lake Drive East in the Richmond District.
Through the course of the investigation, officers located the suspect vehicle, which failed to yield for a traffic stop and fled at a high rate of speed. Officers formulated a plan to stop the vehicle and take the suspects into custody. The suspect vehicle fled to the area of 22nd and Kansas Streets where three passengers, later identified as Andrew Maravilla-Lopez, Masiah West-Ayele and Michael Gebremeskel, fled on foot. Officers took all three suspects into custody.
The fourth suspect, who was driving the vehicle, continued to evade police. Officers continued to pursue the suspect vehicle and the pursuit ended at Steuart Street and Steuart Lane. The suspect, later identified as Omarion Holman, was taken into custody.
A search of the suspect vehicle yielded a firearm, thousands of dollars’ worth of property including camera equipment, some of which had been stolen in the Alamo Square auto burglary earlier that day and was returned to the victim.
