Officers Cassinelli and Hom were sent to investigate a robbery that had just occurred. The officers located the victim that told the officers that she was walking Hom after getting off the bus. The victim told the officers that she noticed two males walking towards her on the opposite side of the street. The victim told the officers that she noticed that both suspects looked at her and crossed the street. When the suspects got close to her, one of the suspects grabbed her arms so as to immobilize her, while the other suspect said "Give me your bag". The suspect then took her purse and the other suspect threw the victim to the ground. The victim began to scream while both suspects ran away with the purse. The officers broadcast the description for other Ingleside units responding and started to canvas the area for possible witnesses. They were flagged down by the original 911 caller. The witness told the officers that while he was preparing for a party in his garage he had noticed two male suspects that kept looking into his garage the witness continued setting up but remained aware of the suspects. The suspects eventually walked past the witnesses’ garage and disappeared from his view. The witness told the officers that within a few minutes he heard a woman screaming and seconds later he saw the same two suspects running past him, only this time one of them was carrying a black purse.
While Officers Hom and Cassinelli were interviewing the witness Officers Barajas, Duffin, Hart and Johnson were searching the area where the suspects were last seen. Luck would have it, the officers saw two subjects that matched the description and decided to detain them. Once the two subjects saw the officers one of them threw something to the ground and tried to conceal it unsuccessfully. The officers stopped the two, when one of the suspects decided to flee. The officers were able to grab the other suspect and detain him. The officers were also able to locate the victims purse a few feet away from where the suspect was detained.
The information of the possible suspect was broadcast to the reporting officers so that a cold show could be conducted with the victim. The victim was taken to identify the suspect upon seeing the suspect told the officers "He’s the one!" positively identifying the suspect as the one who took her purse. The witness was next to attempt to identify the suspect. The witness was shown the purse first which he told the officers that it was the one he saw one of the suspects carrying. Next the witness was given an opportunity in identifying the suspect which as soon as he saw the suspect said "Yeah, it’s him".
The suspect was arrested and booked for robbery. The second suspect may think he got away, but officers Hart, Barajas, Duffin and Johnson know this suspect from prior arrest! The victim received minor, non life threatening injuries to her knees and her purse recovered.
Fast response and witness participation netted a robbery suspect in jail and a second one soon to follow! Report number 110743875. This is the *****Best Arrest of the Day*****
