San Francisco, CA – Today, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced today that fifteen individuals were arrested for shoplifting in two separate large-scale operations conducted by the San Francisco Police Department’s (SFPD’s) Organized Retail Crime (ORC) Task Force.
In a coordinated set of operations with retail partners REI, Safeway, and a local business, the Task Force identified and apprehended five retail theft suspects: Erick Rock (45), Johanna Daniels (52), Dennis Kelley (51), Sergio Syon (28), and Rasha Sohan (26). They are alleged to have stolen over $32,800 in merchandise. They are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, August 31, 2026, for charges ranging from shoplifting (PC 459.5(a)) to grand theft (PC 487(a)) to petty theft with priors (PC 666.1(a)(1)).
During the same week, SFPD’s ORC conducted a retail blitz operation resulting in ten arrests related to retail theft.

“My office continues to work closely with our partners in the SFPD to investigate and prosecute organized retail theft rings,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “This type of theft is exactly the conduct that drives business out of San Francisco. It is simply unacceptable, and we will work to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions.”
