Suspect(s) have broken into vehicles parked along the street and have taken the garage door openers and used them to open the owner’s garage to gain access. Once inside, they steal anything of value, including bicycles. You wouldn’t leave the key to your front door in your car, so don’t leave your remote garage door opener in your car either. If you happen to hear your garage door opening, and it wasn’t you, call SF 911 directly.

Arrests:

1:05am       4800 Blk Mission                   Battery
Officers Contreras and Hermosura were on their meal break and were getting something to eat from a local business on the 4800 block of Mission, when they were asked by the cashier to wake and remove an intoxicated man who was sleeping in one of the restaurant tables. Officer Contreras woke the subject up and told him that he was being asked to leave. The subject woke up and began to stagger out of the business. As the officers were escorting him out of the restaurant, the subject stopped and began to use his cell phone. The suspect stumbled backwards and both the officers caught him from behind. When the suspect regained his balance, he gave a quick and violent elbow strike to Officer Contreras’s chest. The officers grabbed the suspect and wrestled him down to the floor while ordering the suspect to stop resisting. The suspect continued to fight and began to flail his legs, kicking Officer Hermosura once in the left knee and once in the left foot. Officer Hermosura immediately requested back-up and several Ingleside units came on scene and finally assisted in placing the suspect into custody. Officers Contreras and Hermosura sustained a few bumps and bruises, but refused any medical attention. Officers Contreras and Hermosura transported the suspect to Ingleside Station, who was booked for resisting and battery on a peace officer. Report Number: 130182576.

9:16pm       Peru/Felton                             Robbery
Officers Hom and Tam responded to the 100 block of Valmar Terrace on a report of a robbery that had just occurred. Upon arrival, Officer Tam met with the victim who was visibly shaken up from the incident. The victim told the officers that she had just gotten off the bus and was walking onto Northbound Peru Avenue when she suddenly she felt a tug on her purse. The victim turned and saw two suspects who grabbed her purse and snatched it off her arm. The victim said one of the suspects was possibly armed with a gun. The other suspect then grabbed and took the victim’s iPhone from her right hand. The suspects then turned and fled Southbound on Peru Avenue. The victim asked a citizen to call the Police, but he ignored her and walked away. The officers canvassed the area for any witnesses, suspect, and surveillance cameras to no avail. Report Number: 130185376.


CRIME ALERT:  There has been an increase in auto boostings around Precita Park and the surrounding area.  Don’t be a Victim.
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.
