Video captures suspects stealing ATM, safes from San Francisco North Beach taqueria

Taqueria Zorro, a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco’s North Beach, was burglarized early Tuesday morning by what the owner described as the “SWAT of stealing.”
Tarik Kassis, the restaurant’s owner, provided CBS News Bay Area surveillance footage of the burglary.
The video shows several masked individuals, including some who appear armed. A crowbar and bolt cutters were used to break into the restaurant on Columbus Avenue and its office.

Video also shows the suspects driving in a white Honda Odyssey minivan with a clear shot of its license plate: 8GWX875.
An ATM and two safes were stolen, according to Kassis. He estimates about $10,000 was stolen.
The repairs to the restaurant are expected to take several weeks and costs an estimated $25,000, according to Kassis.
“They’re not just randomly hitting these places. They’re studying them. They’re hitting them. They have standard operating procedures. It’s a business for them. They know what they’re doing,” Kassis said. “They’re calm. They’re nonchalant. They’re not frantically moving around… They’re clearing rooms, making sure there’s no one down there. They’re like SWAT of stealing.”
No arrests have been made and the investigation into the burglary is ongoing, according to SFPD.
Kassis is offering his own reward in an effort to help solve the case. He’s offering free lunch for a month to anyone who provides information that leads to the identification and arrest of the suspects.
“Bring a friend,” he smiled. “Mi casa, su casa.”

Florida Gators land spot at coach Todd Golden’s favorite San Francisco restaurant after all

Golden said Tuesday that Original Joe’s, a popular San Francisco eatery with several Bay Area locations, created space for the Gators to dine this week before their Sweet 16 matchup against No. 4 seed Maryland.
Florida was scheduled to fly cross-country Tuesday and practice at the University of San Francisco, the school where Golden got his first head coaching job. The Gators will dress up (maybe) and chow down (definitely) at Joe’s after.
Golden had been thinking about the possibility of taking his players and staff to his hot spot once the NCAA Tournament bracket was revealed and the Gators landed the No. 1 seed in the West Regional. But the coach didn’t want to get ahead of himself with first- and second-round games to be played before a potential trip to the West Coast.
So by the time Golden called Original Joe’s, there was not space for 17 players, six coaches and more than a dozen additional staff members on relatively short notice. But Joe’s ended up making it work, getting Golden’s homecoming off to a rousing start.
The 39-year-old Golden played basketball at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga and returned to the region to coach at the University of San Francisco, first as an assistant and then as the head coach for three seasons.
Golden is 72-33 in three seasons in Gainesville.
