A thirteen-year old was arrested for leading San Francisco cops on a crime spree over the weekend — as billionaires launched a $4 million campaign to address its crime-riddled, “doom loop” image.
San Francisco Police Officers Association posted a tongue-in-cheek comment on X about the teenager who was detained on Saturday after she and an accomplice allegedly stole a vehicle and led them on a wild police chase.
Police said the “Baby Bipper”— a slang term used in the Bay Area for someone who breaks into cars— crashed the stolen car into two others near the Bay Bridge on-ramp at about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
“What did you do this AM,” the association asked on their post.
“This Mountain View 13 yr-old allegedly helped boost a car & rolled through Central to go bippin’.
“She refused to pull over for SFPD & put lives in danger by choosing to cause a police pursuit, lost control of her stolen ride & smashed 2 other cars.”
A few hours after that incident, San Francisco Mayor London Breed attended a mural project at the East Cut Crossing area of the city for a new $4 million “It Starts Here” ad campaign that hopes to combat the city’s “doom-loop” reputation.
