San Francisco police seize guns, arrest 2 robbery crew members
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco police on Tuesday announced that they seized guns and arrested two men suspected in three armed robberies in the Mission District, in situations where the suspects held the victims at gunpoint while stealing money, items and ATMs.
The three robberies occurred between Sept. 26 and Oct. 4 “in and around the Mission District,” according to a statement from police.
All three of the robberies included forcing the victims to the floor or “corralling them” into back rooms at gunpoint, police said.
In two of the robberies the suspects pistol-whipped their victim.
Police arrested Jacquez Tucker, 32, and Lloyd Gage, 33 on charges including robbery, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and illegally possessing firearms.
Police said they identified Tucker as a suspect and that plainclothes officers began surveilling him as he drove around San Francisco. During one of his drives, police said he picked up Gage, who they said was wearing the same clothing and shoes worn during the robberies.
Police said Gage allegedly possessed a “distinct short-barrelled rifle” that was also used in the robberies. And police said a search of Tucker’s home allegedly revealed clothing and shoes he wore during the robberies, along with firearms and merchandise that police believe were stolen from the businesses.
Police provided photos of some of the guns.
It was unclear how many other suspects are outstanding.

3 California beaches closed as collapsed pier debris washes ashore
As detritus from the badly damaged Santa Cruz pier washes ashore, California State Parks officials are keeping three beaches closed. “Because of the amount of debris washing up onto the local beaches from the collapsing Santa Cruz municipal wharf,” Twin Lakes State Beach, Seabright State Beach and San Lorenzo Point will be closed until Dec. 30 at 6 a.m., Santa Cruz State Beaches said.
Seacliff State Beach and Rio Del Mar State Beach both reopened on Christmas morning, though visitors should take care: A high-surf warning is in effect along the coast from Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service is advising people to stay off piers and jetties.
About 150 feet of the Santa Cruz pier and an entire building housing a restroom broke off into the ocean on Monday amid battering waves. Three people working on the pier plunged into the water, where two needed rescue and a third was able to rescue themselves. Since then, pieces of the wharf have been washing onto local beaches. There is no estimated reopening for the wharf itself. Waves also pulled support piling from the Cayucos Pier about 160 miles south down the Central Coast. The end of the pier was already closed as it incurred damage during stormy conditions in February.
“Please be cautious when near the ocean, as debris from damage north of Capitola is making its way down the coastline,” the Capitola Police Department said. “Several large pilings from the Santa Cruz wharf have found their way to our shores, creating an extreme hazard. Please use caution if you are in the area.”
