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。

Serious Incidents:

12:30am     Bosworth/Diamond      Robbery
Ingleside Officer Lockett was sent to the intersection of Diamond and Bosworth after two victims reported they were robbed by three men of their belongings. When he arrived, Officer Lockett found the two victims with facial injuries, sitting on the sidewalk in front of a closed business. The victims told the officer they were waiting for a bus when three men, wearing dark shirts and baseball caps, approached and asked if they had any money. The victims told the suspects they didn’t understand English. Without provocation, the suspects started punching the victims while snatching a computer bag.  The suspects then fled the area and boarded a waiting getaway vehicle. The victims were taken to San Francisco General Hospital for treatment of their injuries.  They were unsure if they would be able to recognize the suspects.  Officers canvassed the area for the suspects and the vehicle to no avail.  Report number: 130488487

Officers Chew and Lustenberger responded to a report of a woman who was assaulted and robbed while walking home. When they arrived, the victim told the officers she was walking westbound on 28th near Dolores and Church, when she noticed a dark colored SUV pass by her. Suddenly, the vehicle stopped and its driver approached her and began pulling her purse from her shoulder. The victim struggled to hold on to her purse, while screaming for help. The suspect then pushed her to the ground yelling, “give me your purse..”  while stomping on her neck. The victim released her hold on the purse, the suspect ran to his vehicle and sped away. A resident of a nearby building, hearing the commotion, ran out to assist the victim and called police. The victim was treated at the scene for her injuries. She did not believe she could recognize the suspect.  Officers took pictures of her injuries which they booked as evidence.  Report number: 130488506

 9:33am       3300Blk Mission         Robbery
Dispatch sent Ingleside Officers Trujillo, Pan, and several additional units to a store on the 3300 block of Mission after a clerk reported she was robbed at gunpoint and assaulted. When officers  arrived, they found the store clerk and a customer outside being treated for their injuries. The clerk told the officers that she arrived shortly before the business opened and prepared everything.  When she opened the business and unlocked the front door, two suspects pushed the clerk behind the counter and ordered her to open the business safe. Another customer who was waiting in line, began struggling with the robber attempting to take the gun from his hand. During the struggle, the clerk ran outside and began screaming for help. When she turned around, she saw the robber leaving and running down the street. Emergency medical units treated both victims for minor injuries at the scene. Witnesses told the officers that the suspect got into an older sedan driven by a woman with a dog, and sped away. Officers searched the area unsuccessfully for the suspects and the vehicle.  They ordered a copy of the business’ surveillance video for the Ingleside Investigations Team.  Report number: 130489093
