A known fencing operation suspect was arrested as a result of this operation, CHP said. The suspect was not identified, but has been booked on retail crime charges.
The stolen items were from several retail outlets. It is not clear how much of it was from SF Union Square. Photos by CHP showed cosmetics, clothing and what appears to be garbage bags full of stolen goods.
