On December 6, 2018, a series of armed robberies began in San Francisco, committed by a male suspect wearing a motorcycle helmet and riding a motorcycle. At approximately 10:22PM, the suspect walked into a Eureka Valley neighborhood market, brandished a firearm at the cashier, and demanded cash from the register. The cashier complied and the suspect fled the business with cash and merchandise. Â
Approximately an hour later, an Inner Sunset District gas station was robbed in the same manner. The location of this robbery was less than 2 miles away from the Eureka Valley market. Â
Through the course of an investigation, SFPD Robbery Investigators developed information that led to a possible suspect wanted for a similar crime in a neighboring jurisdiction.
