Off of Mission Street here in San Francisco. And thats because supervisor Hillary Ronen says the sale of stolen stuff is putting other people in danger. For now, her office says theyve seen Mission Street flooded with large scale fencing operations over the last year and a half, which involves the buying and selling of stolen goods. Just last week, police chief bill scott said investigators recently. Recovered 17,000 worth of stolen goods all being sold on Mission Street from lululemon and victorias secret. And these fencing operations have led to some major safety concerns. As an aide to supervisor, ronen says, the situation is so bad that city workers fear for their safety. When asking vendors for their permits. At the point where our public works inspectors are now wearing bulletproof vests while theyre walking the streets, they are escorted by police. But that is the level of danger thats out there for city workers. And they have been subject to attacks as assaults, verbal and physical assaults. And so it really makes it difficult for them to do their job. San Francisco Police chief bill scott is well aware of the problems in the area along with other city leaders. He blames a 2018 state law that they say basically decriminalized street vending for some of the recent problems with stolen goods. Now, supervisor supervisor ronens office says they are working to try to come up with an alternate indoor space for permitted vendors to legally sell their goods.
