SFPD Arrests Prolific Gym Locker Thief #26-058

San Francisco police arrested a prolific gym locker thief this week following a months-long investigation into the thefts.

The suspect burglarized lockers at multiple gyms in San Francisco between November of 2025 and March of 2026. The San Francisco Police Department Financial Crimes Unit took the lead in the investigation.

During their investigation, the Financial Crimes Unit learned that the suspect used the same modus operandi (M.O.) across several cases. She would visit gyms and fitness studios and obtain a day pass under a false name to burglarize lockers, stealing credit cards to use prior to the victims knowing their property was stolen.

Investigators worked closely with fitness studios in the Marina District and their members and identified the suspect as 40-year-old Andrania Yancy. Yancy has ties to the Bay Area and stay-away orders from multiple fitness businesses in San Francisco.

On May 18, 2026, SFPD led a multi-agency contingent that included the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force (PSWRFTF), which located Andrania Yancy in Sacramento and took her into custody. Yancy was booked at the San Francisco County Jail for nine warrants for burglaries committed in San Francisco, El Cerrito, Berkeley, Santa Clara, Oakley, San Mateo County, Contra Costa County, and Orange County.

While an arrest has been made, this remains an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or Text-A-Tip to TIP411, beginning your message with SFPD. You may remain anonymous.
