A San Francisco man suspected in two auto break-ins in San Francisco was arrested Wednesday, police said.

Officers responded to an auto break-in in the 200 block of Clement Street on Monday at 1:34 p.m., where they obtained a description of the thief and the getaway vehicle. Police did not release information on whether anything was taken from the vehicle.

The car was seen by officers from the Tenderloin station around 3 p.m. Wednesday, police said, but drove off before officers could make contact.

Officers in the Ingleside station conducted a traffic stop after seeing the vehicle at 4:20 p.m., detaining three men. Tyrell Baldwin, 26 of San Francisco, was arrested in connection with the Monday break-in and was later connected to a car break-in on Jan. 19.

Frederick Reed, 34, of San Francisco, was cited for driving with a suspended license and released. A third male occupant was detained, but released without incident.

According to police data, the city averages 85 car break-ins a day. The district attorney’s office said Thursday that of the 81,000 auto burglaries reported online in the past 7 years, only 13 arrests have been made. Police officials declined to say whether Wednesday’s arrest was connected to an online report.
