SIDESHOW ACTIVITY – At approximately 12:39 am Sunday morning, our officers received information of a large side show which was heading to South San Francisco. As officers arrived on scene and started to check the area, a large group consisting of 250 to 300 cars and approximately 400 spectators were found to have taken over the intersections of East Grand Avenue and Gateway Boulevard as well as East Grand Avenue and Harbor Way.
Arriving officers had large fireworks thrown/shot at their vehicles and several of the spectators threw glass bottles at police vehicles. Additional resources were requested from northern San Mateo County law enforcement agencies and the area was cleared in approximately 10 minutes.
Several traffic stops were conducted on vehicles loitering in and/or leaving the area after the sideshow was cleared and citations were issued for various vehicle code violations. A vehicle was also impounded as the driver, who was from Oakland, had a suspended drivers license.
