San Francisco Police Sit and Watch as Dispensary Burglars Escape

The San Francisco police sat and watched from a patrol car as burglars dawdled as they bagged goods from a cannabis dispensary, slowly left the store and drove away, according to surveillance footage from the San Francisco Chronicle. The suspects, unidentified and still at large, had time to make a three-point turn in front of a police car before driving away. Police arrived during the crime and lit the suspects’ car, but did not pursue the suspects. The shop owner, Tariq Mizyed Alazraie, said of the November 16 break-in, “If you watch what happened, you might think the police were there.” Alazraie said the thieves stole thousands of dollars in large bags . According to the Chronicle, the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability has opened an investigation into the incident.
