 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:

8:22pm       3200 Blk Mission          Robbery
Sgt. Martin and Officer Kilgariff were dispatched to the scene of a robbery. When they arrived, the two victims told the officers that a man ran up to them while they were standing outside a restaurant, ripped away their chains from their neck and fled the area. One of the victims chased the suspect to a nearby fast food restaurant parking lot, where a fight broke out between the victim, the suspect, and two other accomplices. The three suspects, two men and a woman, escaped by running north on Valencia. The woman suspect dropped her purse while trying to  escape. In the purse, the officers discovered a driver’s license and a cell phone with a picture of the woman suspect. It was retained as evidence. The officers also discovered the restaurant where the robbery took place had surveillance video showing the crime. The evidence was turned over to the Station Investigative Team for further action. Both victims said they could identify the suspects if they saw them again.  Officers canvassed the area for the suspects to no avail.  They took pictures of the victims’ injuries which were later booked as evidence.  Report number: 130511141

Ingleside Officers Dominguez and Carrasco were sent to a robbery.  Two victims reported that they were held up at gunpoint by four men. When they arrived on scene, the victims told the officers they were working on a car in their driveway when they noticed four men walking down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. All four men were dressed in dark clothing and had hooded sweatshirts. The victims turned their attention back to the car and continued working.  A short time later, the four suspects appeared next to them demanding the victims’ necklaces and money. One of the suspects pulled out a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the victims. The suspects yanked the chains from the victim’s necks and also removed a small amount of cash from one victim’s pocket. The suspects then fled in different directions. The victims were not injured and said they could possibly identify the suspects.  Officers searched the area for the suspects with negative results. Report number: 130511674
