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:

11:06pm     4100 Mission St                      Drugs
Officers Almaguer and Hom were on patrol when they spotted a known suspect walking Southbound along the 4100 block of Mission Street. The officers have dealt with this suspect on numerous occasions and knew he was on felony probation with a search condition. The suspect walked towards the officers, seemingly unaware of their presence. When the suspect got close enough, he realized the officers were standing in front of him and spontaneously stated, “You got me. You finally got me”. The officers immediately detained him and conducted a probation search and found several small baggies, each containing a good amount of Methamphetamine as well as a digital scale. The baggies and scale were seized as evidence and the suspect was arrested and charged with possession with the intent to sell. Report Number: 130257436

Serious Incidents:


2:02pm       San Bruno/Wilde                    Theft
Officers Muro and Johnson were dispatched to the area of Wilde and San Bruno regarding a theft of a cell phone that just took place. The victim advised the officers that his Iphone had just been stolen while he was sitting on the bus. The victim said he was sitting down and playing on his phone while riding the 8XL MUNI bus, which was headed downtown.  He said a suspect then approached him from behind and snatched the phone right out of his hands and ran out the bus. The victim said he chased after the suspect, but lost sight of him somewhere on Wilde Street. The victim said he was not hurt, but was disappointed that he got his phone taken. The officers attempted to locate the MUNI bus for the surveillance video to no avail. Report Number: 130256002


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.
