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:

5:51am       Staples/Hazelwood        Stolen Auto
Ingleside Officers Pereira and Cross were attending the morning lineup when they heard Officer Hermosa radio for assistance to help with an auto burglary in progress. Officers Pereira, Cross and several other Ingleside units responded and located Officer Hermosa who had a suspect handcuffed and sitting on the sidewalk.  The suspect was sitting next to a white Toyota that had collided with a parked BMW. Officer Hermosa said another suspect was at large, having escaped by jumping over nearby fences into neighboring backyards. Officers Pereira and Cross scaled several fences in an unsuccessful search for the second suspect. The officers returned to the scene of the accident, and transported the suspect back to Ingleside Station. A computer check revealed the owner of the Toyota who the officers successfully located.  He confirmed that his car had been stolen. The suspect was booked at Ingleside Station for auto theft, parole violation, and other charges at the instruction of Sgt. Gasanyan. The stolen car was returned to its owner. Report number: 130514941

Just then, a young male boarded the vehicle and started driving away. The officer affected a traffic stop and spoke with the driver. The driver asked the officers why he was stopped. When he was told the license plates on his car were stolen he said, “My friend gave them to me and I put them on the car so I could drive”.

The man had exited a dark sedan and demanded the victim’s wallet and IPhone saying, “You think I’m kidding”?  The victim, fearing for his life, handed over his property. The suspect then told the victim to walk away.  The victim later flagged down Officer Lustenberger. A search of the area by Ingleside officers failed to turn up the suspect or the dark sedan.  The suspect believed he could identify him if he saw him again.  He was not injured and refused medical assistance.

The officers responded to the home the witness pointed out and found the victim sitting inside with a large laceration to the back of his head. The officers called for medical help and then asked the victim what happened. He told the officers that he was walking down the street drinking a bottle of beer when an unknown suspect approached him, violently ripped the beer bottle from his hand, and smashed it on his head.
