Suspects In Millbrae Crimes Arrested In SWAT Operation, Police Say

SAN BRUNO, CA -- Two people were arrested this week as a SWAT scene unfolded in a San Bruno neighborhood for the service of a search warrant related to a recent series of crimes across San Bruno, Millbrae and San Francisco, police say. On Thursday morning, San Bruno police were joined by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, the North County Regional S.W.A.T. team, and the San Francisco Police Department for the operation.

San Bruno Police Lt. Ryan Johansen says that at 4:30 a.m. the agencies headed to the 1900 block of Monterey Drive to serve the warrant.

"This search warrant stemmed from an extensive investigation into a series of crimes that occurred in San Bruno, Millbrae, and San Francisco over the last several weeks," Johansen said. "These crimes included auto burglaries, identity thefts, stolen vehicles and a violent assault."

At the house, police found suspected stolen property and other evidence related with the ongoing investigations, the lieutenant said.

"During the execution of the search warrant two occupants of the residence were arrested for warrants that had been issued pursuant to these investigations," he said.

Charisse Guerra, 35, was taken to the San Mateo County Jail and Miguel Sanchez, 32, was taken to the San Francisco County Jail, according to Johansen.

Additional information about the alleged crimes was not available.
