SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco public works crews have removed tents at two Occupy encampments in the city.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/ui5yIa) that the workers moved in on the encampments in Justin Herman Plaza and in front of the Federal Reserve Bank on Saturday afternoon.

Protesters at the bank locked arms to keep crews from going in. The newspaper says at Justin Herman Plaza, several protesters packed up their tents and moved to other locations in the encampment.

San Francisco police were not involved although they were present.

Police spokesman Albie Esparza said there were no reports of violence. He said the action was not a raid.
