SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The San Francisco Police Department arrested a burglary suspect after he jumped off a freeway overpass last week, police said. The man had allegedly burglarized a liquor store earlier that morning.
Police first responded to a liquor store on the 700 block of 22nd Street at 2:12 a.m. on Nov. 7 for a reported burglary in progress. Multiple suspects forced their way into the store and took items and cash.
The suspects left the scene in several vehicles. Police tried to stop one car going northbound on US-101, but it sped off and officers did not pursue it.

A police investigation concluded that the suspect was involved in two other burglaries that happened the same night in the Ingleside and Mission neighborhoods.
Police did not identify the suspect because the investigation is ongoing. SFPD is working to arrest the other suspects who participated in the burglary.
