Arrests:
7:25pm Silver/Madrid Possession
of Stolen Property
Switching license plates is a common practice among car
thieves. They take plates from one car and place them on another hoping the
police won’t notice. Well, on this date they did. Ingleside Officers Hawkins
and Hackard were on patrol when they spotted an older Ford Taurus with plates
belonging to a Toyota. The officers followed the Taurus and its two occupants
from Silver and Madrid, down Alemany, and onto NB #280 until, with the help of
additional units, the vehicle was stopped at King and 5Th Street.
The driver was on probation out of Alameda County and so was his passenger. In
the back seat was a laptop belonging to a teacher that was stolen recently from
a car parked in Burlingame. There were also two cameras with several family
pictures of people not known by the driver. The Taurus was last registered
almost two years ago because it wouldn’t pass a smog test. So the driver’s
mother let him take the plates off her Toyota and put them on the Taurus, so he
could drive it illegally. He also didn’t have a valid driver’s license. He was
transported to Ingleside Station and booked for possession of stolen property
and other crimes. His passenger was released at the scene. Report number: 160063576
