SSFPD Report Arrest Made at Large Sideshow on East Grand Avenue

South San Francisco, CA  June 7, 2022

Early Saturday morning, South San Francisco Police officers discovered a large sideshow in the intersection of East Grand Avenue and Gateway Boulevard. The sideshow consisted of approximately 200 spectators and approximately 150 vehicles.

Arriving officers had large fireworks thrown/shot at their vehicles and high-powered lasers were directed at their eyes. Additional assistance was requested from surrounding law enforcement agencies and the area was cleared in approximately 30 minutes.

A 27 year old male from El Sobrante was contacted on the 100 block of Gateway Boulevard as the sideshow was breaking up. He was found to be in possession of a loaded and unregistered Glock 19 handgun. A records check revealed the male was a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing a firearm. The male was arrested for several firearm related charges and transported to the San Mateo County jail.

 

Chief Scott Campbell commended everyone involved in “dispersing a large and highly volatile side show gathering” and added he was pleased “another illegal firearm was safely removed from a dangerous individual.”
Great work by our night crew!
