Arrests:
7:10pm 4600 Blk Mission Pellet Gun
Officers Rueca, Hurwitz and Duffin were assigned to conduct a robbery abatement detail in response to the robberies that have been taking place recently. While patrolling the area, they observed a vehicle illegally parked in front of a commercial store with the engine running and with two occupants inside.

Both occupants remained in the vehicle with the engine running for several minutes without anyone entering or exiting the commercial establishment.

The officers had the driver and passenger exit the car and a search of the vehicle was conducted, where they located a gun and a holster. After further investigation, it was revealed that the gun found was in fact a pellet gun. At the instruction of Sgt. Riskin, the driver was cited for possession of the pellet gun. All evidence was booked at Ingleside station. Report Number 130300370

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.
