A black 1999 Honda Civic, Ca. IMXTC2U, was stolen between 2100 and 0400 hours. Taken from stall #2526.
A BART employee at the station reported a male suspect jumped a fence near the east-side parking lot and into the BART track way just south of the platform. The suspect began to walk towards the platform then jumped back over the same fence into the parking lot. BART Central shut the track way power off in that area as a safety precaution for the suspect. An officer responded and detained the suspect near the primary station entrance without incident. The suspect was arrested and released on citation for trespassing and interfering with railroad operations, based on a citizen’s arrest by the BART employee who witnessed the violation. The suspect’s motive appears to be fare evasion.
While patrolling the station parking structure, an officer noticed white Ford utility truck which was occupied earlier by two subjects, and was now unoccupied. The officer conducted a records check on the vehicle and it came back “nonoperational” since 2008. The officer searched the structure and area, and 20 minutes later located two subjects on the 3rd level of the parking structure, on the same level of the truck in question. The subjects were identified as: S#1 and S#2. S#1 is listed as a suspicious person in a prior trespassing case. S#2 is on parole for narcotic(s) violation. The subjects stated the truck in question was not theirs and that they were not in it, and the officer could not identify either individual as being in the truck. Neither subject has been identified as a wanted suspect in any prior BART PD case at this time. The truck was inventoried and towed for having expired registration of more than six months. The subjects were released as they could not be linked to any criminal activity at this time. This case is being forwarded to Detectives for information and review.
Unknown suspect(s) cut and removed approximately 1000 feet of copper cable located between the tracks of Trackway #3, and just north of the Millbrae platform (#3). The cable is “negative return” and is not “hot.” The suspect(s) appear to be using proper tools for both cutting the two-inch thick cable and possibly for electrification testing. Cables on Trackway #2 in the same area were also cut and removed, but some cut cable was left behind. The suspects appeared to have gained entrance through a chain-linked fence opening along the right-of-way. Detectives are investigating this theft, along with other recent thefts of copper cable from the District. TSOC has been notified.
An officer responded to a hospital in Santa Clara on a report that a female sexual-assault victim from Millbrae station was being treated there.

A patron reported to Millbrae P.D. that a subject was upset and kicking the doors of a north bound train approaching the station. The subject reportedly was threatening to blow up the train as he was arguing with a patron for talking loudly on her cell phone. Trains were held for 10 minutes at the station as BART and Millbrae Officers responded to the scene and investigated the incident. Officers could not locate any complainants at the station and the subject denied threatening to blow up the train. The subject appears to have some mental issues but was able to care and warned for the disturbance.
A station agent reported that a subject fare evaded out and started cussing and yelling at her. The officers arrived and contacted the suspect (Joseph Wade W/M). A warrant check revealed Wade had a $20,000 felony warrant out for his arrest for drug possession. The subject was booked for the warrant via an out of county waiver at the San Francisco County Jail. The fare evasion could not be substantiated and no citizens’ arrest was made for disturbing others.
