On Wednesday, October 11, 2023, San Francisco Police officers from Ingleside District were conducting an Organized Retail Theft operation at a retail establishment located on the 900 block of Geneva Ave. These operations are intended to assist businesses that have been experiencing commercial burglaries and thefts. At approximately 6:37 p.m. officers observed a group of approximately eight people rush into the business wearing masks and carrying bags while pulling a wagon-styled cart.
