Arrests:
8:30pm 700 Blk Edinburgh Vehicle Tampering
Ingleside Officers Kerlegan and Khan were dispatched to an auto boosting that just occurred in the area of Madrid and Brazil Avenue. The caller/victim informed dispatch that he was following the suspect who had now boarded a MUNI bus at Athens and Excelsior. Sgt Riskin and Officer Gordon responded to the area and located the bus, taking the suspect into custody. The officers spoke to the victim, who said he was inside his residence when his sister happened to look out the window and saw the suspect in his car. His sister told him that his car was getting boosted and went outside herself to confront the suspect. The suspect then fled running away from the area. The caller/victim jumped in his car and drove a couple blocks until he spotted the suspect and began following him. The victim then called the police, providing dispatch with the current information and location. The victim told the officers that nothing was taken from his vehicle, probably because the suspect didn’t have a chance too, due to the fact that he was interrupted and confronted by his sister. The victim wished to press charges and signed a Citizen’s arrest. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station and ultimately cited for the offense and released. Report Number: 130273761

The victim said he noticed the suspect and his two friends seated close to him. When the bus pulled into the bus stop at Mission and Excelsior, the suspect reached over and grabbed the victim’s phone. The victim struggled to keep his phone, but was quickly overpowered. The suspect ripped the phone out of the victim’s hands before fleeing the scene with his two friends. The victim said he went home and noticed that his hand hurt when he woke up the next morning.

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.
