Police Arrest San Francisco Car Burglary Suspect

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- A man spotted breaking into cars in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood late Saturday night has been arrested, authorities said.

San Francisco police said they received a 911 call from a woman reporting a man breaking into cars near Hyde and Fulton streets around midnight Saturday.

Arriving officers confronted the man -- 40-year-old Steven Mills -- and arrested him after they discovered he had property from a victim's car and burglary tools.

When they ran his name through the computer system they discovered Mills had previously been booked on Dec. 8 on grand theft and contempt charges.

He was again booked into jail with additional counts pending.
