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.

Ingleside Officers Dun and Marino investigated a report of a trespasser who would not leave a local business. When they arrived, the officers found a man outside the store who appeared to be intoxicated. The officers noticed that the man had slurred speech and glassy eyes. The owners of the store told Officer Marino the intoxicated man was no longer allowed in the premises. The officers asked the man for identification and he refused to provide it. When the officers attempted to arrest the suspect, he resisted and struggled with the officers on the sidewalk in front of the store. With the help of other Ingleside officers, the suspect was handcuffed and booked at the station for trespassing and resisting arrest. Case number: 130261023

The victim said she knew the suspect from the neighborhood and the officers broadcast that description to other Ingleside units in the area. Less than an hour later, the victim called police to tell them she spotted the suspect at another bus stop a few blocks away. Ingleside officers responded and questioned the suspect, who admitted she took the phone and still had it hidden on her body. The phone was retrieved and the suspect taken to Ingleside Station and booked for robbery. Case number: 130261073

Ingleside Officer Altamirano was on routine patrol when she was dispatched to investigate a robbery involving a gun. The victim told the officer he was walking home when he noticed a man walking toward him wearing a hooded sweatshirt and holding a semi-automatic gun in his hands. The suspect stopped in front of the victim and said, “Give me all your money. I don’t want to hurt you”.  Fearing for his safety, the suspect handed the victim his wallet and the suspect took out $8 cash, and handed the wallet back to the victim. The suspect then said, “Thanks” and ran to waiting car and sped away. Case number: 130261647


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.
