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:

3:29am       Unit Blk Natick             Narcotics
Officer Ferronato was dispatched to the call of a suspect looking into vehicles.  He arrived on scene, along with several other Ingleside officers, and detained a male matching the suspect description.  Dispatch advised that the reportee/caller was still on landline with them and that the police had the correct man detained. 

Officer Ferronato met with the reportee who told him that she was looking outside of her window when she saw the suspect looking into car windows with a flashlight.  The suspect then entered and sat inside of her neighbor’s vehicle. She signed a citizen’s arrest to have the suspect arrested, once it was confirmed that he had no permission to be inside of the vehicle.

The officer made contact with the owner of the vehicle, who confirmed he did not know the suspect, and did not give him permission to be inside of his vehicle.  The inside of the vehicle had been ransacked and officers took pictures of the damage, which they booked into evidence.

A probable cause search of the suspect located a checkbook and an out of state license, which did not belong to him.  Officer Ferronato contacted the owner of the checks, who confirmed that he had been the victim of a crime, and that his checks had been stolen.  He said that he did not know the suspect and gave no permission for anyone to be in possession of his checkbook.  The officers also found the suspect was in possession of glass pipes, known to be used to ingest methamphetamine.  The suspect was transported to Ingleside station and booked for possession of stolen property and the narcotics paraphernalia.  Report Number 130494105

4:40pm       3300 Blk Mission          Theft w/Prior
Officers Morse and Gomez responded to a theft call.  They met with the reportee who told them that he observed a male enter the store, grab several bottles of wine and conceal them in his jacket.  The suspect then exited the store, without attempting to pay for any of the items.  The reportee detained the suspect and escorted him back inside of the store.  He signed a citizen’s arrest to have the officers take him into custody.

A record check revealed the suspect to have numerous outstanding warrants and various prior arrests for petty theft.  He was transported to Ingleside station where the warrants were confirmed and he was booked.  Report Number 130497977

 
Serious Incidents:
 
2:55am       4500 Blk Mission          Hot Prowl
Officers Hermosura and Covarrubias were sent to assist the victims of a hot prowl.  They met with the victims who told them that they were inside of their apartment when they heard a noise coming from inside of the unit.  One of the victims walked toward the front of the unit, and found an unknown male standing inside near the front door.  He noticed that the front window had been forced open.  The victim screamed for the suspect to get out of his home and the suspect fled out of the open window.  The victim provided a description of the suspect and said he could identify him if he saw him again.  Several Ingleside units canvassed the area for him to no avail. 

Officer Hermosura noticed no damage to the victims’ window area, but found the adjoining apartment’s window was completely off of the frame and lying on the couch inside.  He entered the apartment and advised the tenants of the situation.  The tenants were grateful, said that nothing inside seemed to be disturbed, and that the window was intact prior to them going to bed.  Both tenants were unsure if anything was missing from their homes.  CSI was contacted and advised they would be responding to process the units.  Report Number 130496270
