Major Haul: Stolen Porsche, Meth, and Firearms Seized in SFPD Tenderloin Bust

San Francisco, CA – In a stunning revelation stemming from an investigation into rampant catalytic converter thefts, the San Francisco Police Department’s Tenderloin Station has pulled off a major bust, uncovering a trove of stolen luxury vehicles, a significant quantity of illicit drugs, and dangerous firearms.

What began as a routine probe into automotive part theft quickly escalated into a much larger criminal enterprise.

The intricate investigation, spearheaded by dedicated officers from the Tenderloin Station, led authorities to a residence located on the 100 block of Broad Street. Armed with a meticulously obtained search warrant, officers moved in on the property on Friday, May 24, 2024, prepared for what they might find – but the scale of their discovery was remarkable.

Inside the residence, law enforcement uncovered a staggering collection of contraband.

Among the most eye-catching items were a sleek 2022 Porsche and a powerful 2021 Yamaha motorbike, both confirmed to be stolen. But the illicit goods didn't stop at high-value vehicles. Officers also seized an alarming quantity of narcotics – over one pound of suspected methamphetamine, signaling a serious drug dealing operation.

Adding to the gravity of the find were two firearms, along with thousands of dollars in cash, further underscoring the scope of the illegal activities.

The operation resulted in the swift apprehension of two individuals linked to the discoveries. Deonte Robinson, 35, now faces a litany of charges including possession of stolen property (specifically the vehicles), possession of narcotics for sale, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

His charges also include child endangerment, a sobering detail given the presence of a child at the scene.

Also arrested was 35-year-old Angelique Brown. She has been charged with child endangerment and was found to have an outstanding warrant for vehicle theft, indicating a prior history with similar offenses.

The involvement of a minor prompted an immediate response from Child Protective Services, who were called to the scene to ensure the child’s safety and well-being.

This significant bust by the SFPD Tenderloin Station not only removes dangerous weapons and a substantial amount of drugs from the streets but also highlights the interconnected nature of various criminal activities, from vehicle theft to drug dealing.

The investigation continues, as authorities work to dismantle any broader networks connected to these illicit operations, sending a clear message that such activities will not be tolerated in San Francisco.
