Arrests:
4:07pm 4700 Blk Mission Resisting/Delaying
Officers Cahill and Sugitan were on duty and on routine patrol when a citizen flagged them down regarding a subject who was causing a disturbance at the intersection of Mission and Russia Street. The citizen stated that the subject intentionally threw a shopping cart into the traffic lanes trying to cause an accident and/or traffic jam. The citizen then pointed to the subject, who was standing across the street with an acquaintance. The officers immediately took the shopping cart out of the way of incoming cars and went to confront the subject. Upon making contact, the subject immediately became hostile and uncooperative towards the officers. The subject began yelling and cursing at the officers and refused to follow their instructions. At one point, the officers asked to see the subject’s identification, so he took out his wallet and threw it at Officer Cahill’s face. Luckily, Officer Cahill was able to dodge the wallet and avoid getting hit. The officers reacted to the subject’s combative behavior and pepper sprayed him. After a brief struggle, the officers were able to subdue him. Medics responded and transported the subject to the local hospital to treat him for the pepper spray. The officers cited the subject for resisting, issuing a citation, and was released from the hospital. Report Number: 130290737
6:21pm Addison /Diamond Heights Burglary

A search of the suspect revealed a window punch, which is commonly used by thieves to get into cars to steal items inside. The caller was taken to the location and positively identified the suspect as the same subject he saw casing the vehicles. The suspect was arrested and transported to Ingleside station where he was booked for possession of a burglary tool. Report Number: 130291202

No Incidents to Report.
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.
