Monday, July 8th, 2013

BE AWARE:  Last week, in the Park Police District, “laced meatballs” were located which a dog had ingested.  Also, in the Ingleside District, another concerned citizen reported that “tainted” food had been left on the street for dogs to ingest.  Please be cautious and report any suspicious food left out to the police.  Don’t allow your pets to ingest such items.

ALERT:  There has been an increase in auto boosts in the area of O’Shaughnessy and Bosworth.  The break ins are occurring around the hours of 9:00am to 12:00pm.  Please report any suspicious activity to the police.  Do not leave valuables in your cars. 

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.

Serious Incidents:

0:20am       San Jose/Geneva           Robbery
Ingleside Officers Wong, Dominguez, and O’Leary were dispatched after a woman called police to report a robbery. The victim told the officers that she had taken BART to Balboa Park Station and was walking south on San Jose.  She was texting on her phone when a man approached her from behind. The suspect grabbed her phone, but the victim refused to relinquish possession and struggled with the suspect.  The suspect eventually overpowered the victim, gained possession of the phone and fled on foot. The victim said she was not injured and also told the officers that her phone did not have any tracking software installed.  She did not believe she could identify the suspect if she saw him again.  She provided a vague description of him and the officers unsuccessfully searched the area for him.  Report number:130562326

3:15am       Mission/Cortland         Robbery
Officers Dominguez, Lundy, Dilag, and Carrasco were sent to another robbery involving a woman and her purse. The victim told the officers that she was waiting for the bus when she noticed two men walking toward her. Without saying a word, the men grabbed the victim’s purse, resulting in a struggle. The victim managed to hold on to her purse until one of the suspects punched her several times in the face and the back of her head. The suspects, after taking her purse, fled southbound on Mission. The victim was taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment of a swollen lip and loose teeth. She provided a description of the suspects but officers could not locate them.  Report number:130562520

 5:40pm       Sunnydale/Rey             Robbery
A victim told Officers Quintero and Ocreto she was listening to music on her IPhone when a man approached her from behind and pulled the phone out of her pocket.

The victim told the officers that her IPhone was equipped with tracking software, but it was not activated at the time of the theft.  The victim was not injured and unsure if she could identify the suspect. The officers contacted the manager of a nearby residence and requested security camera video of the robbery.  Their efforts to locate the suspect were unsuccessful.  Report number:130561447

 
8:45pm       Crescent/College           Robbery
Police Services Aide Flynn was on duty at Ingleside Station when a man arrived to report a robbery.

The victim said at that point one of the suspects pulled out a knife, placed the blade against his throat, and pushed him to the ground. The suspects took the victim’s wallet from his pants pocket, kicked him several times, and then fled towards St. Mary’s playground. The victim said he had bruises on his chest, shoulder, and forearm but refused medical assistance. PSA Flynn took pictures of his injuries as evidence.  The victim was uncertain if he could recognize the suspects. Report number:130560875
