Arrests:
7:02pm Geneva/San Jose Drugs
Sgt Lozada and Officer Graham were on routine patrol when they came to a stop at a Red light while on Geneva near San Jose Avenue. The officers, who were in a marked police Chevrolet Tahoe, happened to look into the passenger side of the vehicle that was next to them and saw the front passenger rolling a Marijuana cigarette. The passenger looked up and was stunned to see the police officers looking at him. The passenger tried to hide the Marijuana, but it was too late. Sgt Lozada and Officer Graham stopped the vehicle and made contact with the three occupants. When they approached the vehicle they could smell a strong odor of Marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. They ran the driver who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. They then spoke to the passenger who admitted to having Marijuana, but had no valid medical Marijuana card issued to him. Officer Graham searched the passenger and seized the drug. The third passenger had no drugs and was clear of warrants, so she was released from the scene. The passenger was ultimately cited for possession and was released as well. The driver was arrested and booked for the outstanding warrant. Report Number: 130205297

Officers Padilla and Sullivan responded to the unit block of Niagara Avenue on a report of a street robbery. They spoke with the victim who said he was at the corner of Cayuga and Foote Avenue when he was approached by three suspects, two of whom were on bicycles. The suspect on foot then said to the victim, “Give me your money”. The victim said he feared for his safety, so he reached for his wallet and gave the suspect a twenty dollar bill. The suspect grabbed the money and all three fled the scene in an unknown direction. Other Ingleside units searched the area to no avail. Report Number: 130204261

Officers Lozano and McCall went to investigate a strong-arm-robbery that took place aboard a MUNI bus. The victim said he boarded the bus at Ocean and Lee Avenue and was headed home. The victim said he noticed two suspects sitting at the back, but didn’t pay any attention and continued looking at his phone. When the bus was in the area of Santos and Sunnydale Avenue, one of the suspects suddenly kicked the victim in the forehead and dragged him to the front of the bus and out the front doors and out on to the street. The bus driver attempted to intervene, but the suspects quickly grabbed the victim’s Iphone out of his hands and fled the scene. The victim got back on the bus and went home, where he called the police. The officers requested the video surveillance from the bus for further investigation. Report Number: 130205968

Take extra precautions to avoid a criminal window-shopping inside your car. Never give them a reason to break into your car and steal your belongings.
Safety Tips:
*Try to park in a well- lit area and always lock your doors and secure your windows.
*Do not leave possessions on the seat or in plain view.
*Never hide belongings under the seat: This is the first place burglars check.
*Never cover expensive items with an article of clothing or blanket: This presents a hidden clue to thieves that items may be underneath.
*Do not leave any important documents inside your car that contain your personal information.
* Do not leave phone or MP3 chargers plugged in: this leads the burglar to believe there are expensive electronics inside your car.
Remember, if a criminal is unsuccessful and is not benefitting from his criminal activity, the thief will move on, thus making your neighborhood less of a target.
