SAN FRANCISCO — Five people are in custody after a cellphone robbery led to a foot pursuit in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood in which a police officer shot at a suspect this morning, police Chief Greg Suhr said.
The robbery was reported around 6:30 a.m. near 225 Minerva St. in the city’s Oceanview neighborhood. The female victim was walking down the street with her smartphone when she was robbed at gunpoint, Suhr said.
Police used a GPS feature on the cellphone to track it to the Balboa Park BART station. A short time later, the phone was tracked to 28th and Church streets.
