Auto
Oct. 17, 4:23 p.m., 1500 block of Guerrero,
Stolen Property: Officer
Hurwitz was on patrol when she observed a vehicle on Ocean
Avenue with no front
license plate. The vehicle had a rear license plate, and a
record check
revealed the plate on the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Officer Hurwitz
stopped and detained the driver, who was unable to provide any
proof of
identification. The information he provided revealed he had no
driver’s license
in California. The record check also revealed various arrests
had been made of
the driver for driving without a license and in the same
vehicle. However, the
prior arrests showed the license plate number on the vehicle
was different from
the number currently on the vehicle. The driver was
transported to Ingleside
Station and read his Miranda rights. He told the officers he
had purchased the vehicle
and was waiting for the paperwork from the Department of Motor
Vehicles. A
record check of the vehicle returned with incomplete paperwork
and an expired
registration. Officers determined that the driver had switched
the license
plates to escape detection of the expired registration. The
officers contacted
the individual who had reported his license plates stolen, who
stated he did
not know the driver of the vehicle. The driver was booked for
possession of
stolen property and driving without a license. #110837791
