On February 7, fifty-one-year-old Enrique Medina of San Francisco was pinpointed by the South San Francisco Police as the alleged thief of a slew of tools from a local construction site. The site, located on the 700 block of Dubuque Avenue, became the crime scene that would lead officers on a two-week investigation. The South San Francisco Police Department stated that substantial evidence directed detectives to Medina's doorstep.
Following collected clues, officers executed a search warrant at Medina's San Francisco residence on February 20. The officers discovered the stolen items, revealing a stash that sparked suspicions of Medina's involvement in other Bay Area construction thefts.
Charged with grand theft under the California Penal Code section 487(a), Medina now faces the consequences of his alleged actions. Upon recovery of the tools, he was booked into the San Mateo County Jail.
Arraigned and confined, Medina awaits the unraveling of those untold stories. The investigation remains active, and authorities urge anyone with information to contact Detective Kerrigan at 650-877-8900 or through email at [email protected].
