South San Francisco Police announced they have made an arrest of a suspect who may be responsible in a string of residential burglaries in the area.
According to police, over the last few months, numerous cities in the Bay Area have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of residential burglaries in their neighborhoods.
Police announced the arrest of Brandon Jonathan Burks, 21 of Antioch, after plainclothes South San Francisco Police officers conducting surveillance in the Buri Buri neighborhood interrupted an in-progress residential burglary in the 500 block of Hibiscus Drive.
Police say that the suspects initially evaded capture, the subsequent investigation led to the identification of Burks as one of the parties involved. A $100,000 warrant was issued for his arrest and he has since been taken into custody and is facing felony charges of first-degree-burglary, possession of stolen property and conspiracy.
Anyone with information about these cases can reach South San Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
