JUST A REMINDER:  Schools are out for summer session.  Please pay extra attention when driving around parks and playgrounds as children will be out all hours of the day.


Recently, a flyer was distributed to the community regarding scams targeting the monolingual Chinese.  These scams involve telling the victim that an evil spirit is following them.  They will ask the victim to bring valuables to pray over as an offering to the spirit. They will return to the victim what is believed to be their valuables. They will ask the victim not to look at their valuables for a day.  When the victim later checks their valuables, they find that the valuables were not returned by the suspects.

We urge all person(s) confronted with this scam to call 911 as this is a crime in progress.  By contacting 911, you greatly increase the chance of catching the suspect(s) so that the police can make an arrest.  If someone approaches you with this scam, decline their help, call 911 immediately and report it to the police.  Be a good witness.  Obtain a description of the suspect(s) and/or vehicles they are driving. 

最近傳單流傳社區針對中國語的詐騙。這些騙局涉及一個邪惡的精神,他們告訴受害人邪惡會跟隨你。他們會問你攜帶你的貴重物品祭神為您祈禱,事後他們將您的貴重物品歸還.然後會告訴你在一天時間不要看您的貴重物品。一天後,當您檢查您的貴重物品,你會發現,犯罪嫌疑人並沒有歸還您的貴重物品

因為這是一個正在進行中的犯罪騙局。

我們呼籲所有的人,面對這種詐騙,

請撥打911,這將大大增加逮捕機會,是一個很好的證人和嘗試取得犯罪嫌疑人的描述,或他們所駕駛的車輛。

如果有人接近你,請記住這是一個騙局,請拒絕他們的幫助,

並立即撥打911向警方報案。

Arrests:

5:30am       3900 Blk Mission                 Narcotics
Officers Imhoff and Hauscarriague were conducting a Muni bus inspection when they detained an individual who had not paid his fair.  The officers exited the bus with the suspect who provided them with his California Identification Card.  A record check revealed the suspect was wanted on a no bail warrant and he was taken into custody.  An arrest search located a glass pipe with white residue and a white crystalline rock.  The suspect was transported to Ingleside station where the warrant was confirmed and he was booked.  The narcotics tested positive for methamphetamine and were hand delivered to the Narcotics Drop Box at the Hall of Justice.   Report Number 130476385

 8:25pm       5200 Blk Diamond Hts      Narcotics
Officers Dove and Morse responded to a noise disturbance.  They met with the reportee who advised that loud noises were coming from a certain apartment which he pointed out to the officers.  The officers knocked at the door and a female answered.  She told them that she had been on the phone and that no one else was in the home.  The officers asked if they could check the home to be certain everything was okay and the woman allowed them in.  In one of the bedrooms, they located a male hiding under some sheets, who they detained.  They searched the other bedrooms to be certain there were no other occupants inside the apartment. 

A search of the male for weapons located what felt like a metal piece in one of his pockets. The officers removed a suede pouch from his pocket which contained the metal piece.  Inside the pouch, officers located several credit cards containing various people’s names.  Neither the male nor female were able to provide any form of identification to the officers.  The female provided the officers with a name, but one of the identification cards found on the male suspect, who closely resembled her, exhibited a different name.  Because the apartment was not furnished, and boxes were strewn everywhere, the officers began asking the suspects how long they had resided there.  The suspects said they had just moved in, but were unable to provide them with any paperwork.  Officers searched the home for any paperwork which might show they were legally in the apartment.  Various pieces of mail were located with different names.  Officers began to suspect the mail was possibly stolen.  One of the addresses was in the Park district.  The officers requested that a unit from Park station respond to the address, to see if the individual whose name was on the mail had been the victim of a crime. 

Sgt. Torres from Park station heard the broadcast over the air and responded to the scene.

At the scene, Sgt. Torres identified the male and female suspects as individuals of interest in an active fraud case he was investigating.  He placed them both under arrest.  A protective sweep of the apartment also located, in plain view, a glass pipe known to be used to ingest methamphetamine, and a foil bindle containing a white crystal substance that appeared to be methamphetamine. A forged mail box key was also located, as well as several other pieces of mail, which were not addressed to either suspect. 

Both suspects were transported to Ingleside station and booked at the instruction of Sgt. Torres.  Pictures were taken of all evidence seized and all items were booked.  The narcotics tested positive for methamphetamine and was hand carried to the Narcotics Drop Box at the Hall of Justice.  Report Number 130478870
