Cinematic Armed Robbery At Broad Daylight In San Francisco Ends With Police Arresting Robbers

Between 1:08 and 1:10 PM this afternoon, a group of guys in a car backed into a space while waiting for some tourists to walk down the hill. As the tourists walked past them, gunmen emerged from the vehicle and attempted to pull bags away from at least two of the tourists. One ran down the hill, where they alerted some plain-clothes cops who had been lying in wait for the criminals. They had a large uptick in tourist theft recently in San Francisco, though mostly "smash and grab" out of parked cars. Really glad the cops were so vigilant this afternoon.
