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 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 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.
