San Bruno Police searching for suspect in shooting of officer

Police have arrested two suspects and were searching for a third suspect involved in a chase early Saturday morning in which one of the suspects fired a handgun at a San Bruno police officer, police said.

Officers responding to a report of individuals walking on San Bruno Avenue near Fourth Avenue at about 1:45 a.m. today observed a vehicle with several occupants leaving the scene.

An officer attempted to stop the vehicle near Belle Air Elementary School, and, although the vehicle stopped, its occupants fled.

As the officer chased one of the suspects, the person turned and fired a handgun at the officer. The officer, unharmed, returned fire as the suspect continued to flee.

Police said it was unknown if that suspect was struck.

After establishing a perimeter, police located and took into custody two of the suspects, whose names have not been released.

Police described the third suspect as a Hispanic man in his early 20s who is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 155 pounds and was last seen wearing all dark clothing.

Anyone with information was asked to contact San Bruno police at (650) 616-7100.

Transient man arrested in connection with string of vehicle burglaries

A man suspected of committing a series of vehicle burglaries in San Mateo County was arrested recently, Belmont police announced Friday.

Several weeks of investigations by six San Mateo County law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrest on the morning of May 17 in San Bruno of Matthew Justin Garcia, 26.

Garcia was arrested in connection with vehicle burglaries that occurred in Belmont, San Mateo, Redwood City, Hillsborough and Millbrae -- including six vehicle burglaries in Belmont's Hallmark area and six incidents in the Baywood-Aragon area of San Mateo, authorities said.

Garcia, a transient, was allegedly driving a stolen vehicle at the time of his arrest, according to authorities.

Detectives from San Mateo, Belmont, Redwood City, Hillsborough, San Bruno and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office worked together on the investigation.

"Crime and criminals don't respect jurisdictional lines, and law enforcement agencies must work together," Belmont Police Chief Don Mattei said in a statement Friday.

GG Ferry service shut down by surprise strike

The Golden Gate Ferry was shut down Saturday morning due to a ferry workers strike, which could last through all of Memorial Day Weekend.

After giving little to no notice of their intentions in the days leading up to the weekend, dozens of ferry workers began striking outside of the Golden Gate Ferry terminal in Larkspur Saturday morning, thereby shutting down service for that day.

The commuter-run blog SFferryriders.com reported the day before that there were rumors of the possible strike. Citing "a reliable source," the site stated that the reason for the strike was not only due to a lack of a new union contract, but because workers would not be paid for working through the holiday weekend while management would be compensated.

A spokesperson for the ferry service planned to hold a press conference on the strike later Saturday.
