SFPD Arrests Armed Robbery Suspects 24-114
San Francisco police officers’ quick and coordinated response results in locating armed suspects who fled from the scene
On September 22, 2024, at 1:43 a.m., SFPD officers from Bayview Station responded to the 300 block of Bayshore Blvd. regarding an armed robbery that just occurred. Officers arrived on scene and met with the victim who stated that he was on his electric scooter when unknown suspects approached, surrounded him, and stole his scooter. The victim attempted to flee from the suspects, but the suspects followed the victim and demanded his property while brandishing firearms. The suspects stole the victim’s property and fled southbound on Bayshore Blvd. towards Cortland Ave., which is on the border with the Ingleside Police District.
Officers from Ingleside Station responded to the area after hearing the broadcast of the armed robbery which provided descriptions of the suspects. Officers searched the area and located three males who matched the descriptions at Nevada St. and Cortland Ave. Officers detained the males and discovered two of them were in possession of concealed loaded handguns.
Additional officers continued to search the area and located possible stolen property nearby. Through the course of the investigation, the detained males were identified as the robbery suspects, and the found property was identified as the victim’s stolen property.
Officers developed probable cause to arrest the three suspects. A 16-year-old male was arrested for robbery (211 PC) and conspiracy (182(a)(1) PC). Two 18-year-old males, Jefferson Galo and Jephson Galo of San Francisco were arrested for the charges of robbery (211 PC), conspiracy (182(a)(1) PC), charges related to the illegal possession of a firearm (25400(a)(2) PC, 25800(a) PC, 25850(A) PC, 25850(c) PC, 25400(a)(1) PC), exhibiting a deadly weapon (417(a)(1) PC), and carjacking (215(a) PC).
The quick response of the officers from Bayview and Ingleside District Stations lead to the immediate arrest of the suspects and the location of the stolen property for this violent crime. This collaboration and coordination of officers from our ten district stations occur throughout our city daily and night to conduct thorough investigations and arrest those who commit crimes.
