Suspect Arrested In Theft Of $60K-Worth of Wine from Millbrae Storage Unit

MILLBRAE (CBS SF) -- San Mateo County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 57-year-old man in Millbrae Friday after he allegedly stole $60,000 worth of wine from a storage space.

According to the sheriff's department, Scott Davis allegedly burglarized a Millbrae storage unit multiple times since August to steal the wine.

Davis also allegedly used Craigslist to arrange cash sales of the stolen wine, receiving thousands of dollars from two buyers who were unaware the bottles were stolen.

Detectives identified Davis using witness information and surveillance footage. They arrested Davis at his own storage unit.
