The biggest retail theft POP in California history. The Sheriff's Office Crime Suppression Unit worked closely with CHP Golden Gate Division organized Retail ...Crime Task Force, CHP-Cargo Theft Interdiction Team, CHP-Contra Costa Area, and CVS Pharmacy Organized Retail Crime Investigators towards dismantling what was described by law enforcement as the largest organized retail theft bust in the state of California. This investigation, named Operation Proof of Purchase or POP, stemmed from multiple commercial burglaries, auto burglaries, and residential burglaries that were occurring throughout San Mateo County. Most of the stolen property from these burglaries were commercial retail merchandise, electronics, laptops, and cameras. While investigating these crimes, law enforcement was led to an organization in San Francisco (Tenderloin Neighborhood) that was purchasing and then selling the stolen property to suspects operating a distribution warehouse in Concord. This investigation came to a head on the early morning of September 30th, when the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Crime Suppression Unit, along with the California Highway Patrol Golden Gate Division Organized Retail Crime Task Force, the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force, the San Francisco DEA Metro Task Force, and the California Department of Justice White Collar Investigation Team served sixteen search warrants and five arrest warrants. The search warrants were carried out at three residences, two distribution warehouses, and eleven storage units. While searching the locations, over $8,000,000 in stolen property was located including commercial retail merchandise electronics, laptops, and camera equipment. Over $85,000 in cash was also seized as proceeds stemming from criminal profiteering and money laundering. A total of five suspects were arrested and booked into San Mateo County Jail. These investigations are an ongoing effort to work collaboratively with the CHP-Golden Gate Division Organized Retail Crime Task Force to take down organized groups of criminals who have plagued our communities with residential and commercial burglaries. San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office will be working diligently over the next two weeks to identify the victims and rightful owners of this property and will return it to them when possible.

GRANT GIVES GREEN LIGHT FOR CHP TO ENHANCE BICYCLIST AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY To help support the California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) yearlong effort to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, the Department was awarded the California Pedestrian and Bicyclist Enforcement and Education Project VIII grant. The CHP will use the grant funds to conduct enhanced-enforcement patrols and public awareness campaigns through September 30, 2021.... Whether traveling by motor vehicle, bicycle, or on foot, we all share the road. Bicycle and pedestrian safety is everyone’s responsibility, CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said. This grant provides us additional resources to focus on the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, our most vulnerable roadway users. Pedestrian and bicycle fatalities accounted for nearly 33 percent of all traffic-related deaths in California in 2018. The CHP reminds motorists to always scan each intersection for potential foot and bicycle traffic and to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks. On October 7 the National Center for Safe Routes to School’s Walk and Bike to School Day the CHP will focus on locations with high numbers of pedestrian and bicyclist crashes. Officers in plain clothes will work with uniformed officers to monitor crosswalks for motorists and pedestrians who fail to yield the right-of-way or who take unsafe or illegal actions. The CHP will also use the grant funding to educate the public on safe and courteous traffic behavior through public presentations and safety publications, and to provide bicycle and pedestrian safety equipment for distribution including bicycle helmets and reflective gear. Funding for this program was provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety through a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security.
