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.

12:27am Unit Blk Concord Robbery
Officers Dilag and Cvetovac were sent to investigate a robbery that had just occurred involving a gun. Once they arrived, they met with the victim who said he was walking home when he was confronted by a suspect holding a gun. The suspect pointed a small Black handgun at the victim and said, “If you don’t want to die tonight, give me your backpack now”. The victim said he was in fear of getting shot, so he immediately handed over the backpack. The suspect grabbed the backpack and suddenly, without warning, pulled the trigger twice, but nothing happened. The victim then waited for the suspect to get away before he went home and immediately called the police. Several units scoured the area and were met with negative results. The suspect got away with the backpack, which only had dog treats inside. Report Number: 130577604

Officers Padilla, Imhoff and Esson were on a routine traffic stop along the 4400 block of Mission Street when they were flagged down by a passing motorist, who said two victims had just been robbed at the corner of Mission and Silver Avenue. The officers quickly jumped into their patrol car and made their way to the intersection where they were met by the two victims. The two victims said they were at the bus stop waiting for the bus when they were approached by an unknown suspect. The suspect brandished a gun and said, “This is a semi-automatic! Put it down”. One victim quickly took out his cell phone and wallet and set them down on the sidewalk along with his duffel bag containing clothing and shoes. The suspect grabbed the items and before leaving yanked the cell phone from the second victim’s hands. The suspect then ran across the street and into the KFC parking lot. One victim chased after the suspect who jumped into a waiting car that was driven by an accomplice.

As they neared their residence, both victims proceeded to exit the bus at Schwerin and Visitacion Avenue. They noticed that both suspects also exited the bus as well. Seconds later, the suspects, who now had their faces covered, approached the victims and pressed an object against their back and said, “Don’t make me shoot you, just give us the Iphones.” Fearing for their safety, one of the victims reached into her pocket to retrieve her phone. One of the suspects reached over and forcefully took the phone from her hand. The suspects then attempted to search the second victim who became uncooperative and argumentative and refused to give up her cell phone.

The unknown suspect suddenly stopped, turned back around and walked back towards the victim and in one swift motion yanked the victim’s gold chain from his neck. The suspect took off running with the victim chasing from behind. After a brief foot pursuit, the victim decided to stop chasing the suspect because he did not know if the suspect had a weapon.
