Please note that there will be no community meeting at Ingleside Station on July 16, 2013.  The next meeting will be held on August 20, 2013.  Thank you.

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. 

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,

Arrests:

1:08am       Alemany/Geneva            Resisting
Officers Lozano and Jones were on patrol when they observed a vehicle with expired registration driving in front of them.  They affected a traffic stop and the driver advised he had no proof of identification on him.  The driver stated that the vehicle was not registered to him because he had just purchased it.  The officers were unable to determine who the owner of the vehicle was and a record check on the name provided by the suspect did not match the California Photo Identification provided by the DMV. At the instruction of Sgt. Walker, the vehicle was released to a licensed driver. The driver’s true identity was confirmed, and a record check revealed he had no driver’s license issued to him.  He was cited and released at the scene.  Report Number 130565621

1:55pm       5200 Blk Diamond Hts  Shoplifting
Officers Busalacchi and Suguitan were sent to investigate a shoplifting.  They met with the reportee who told them that he observed a known male enter the store, place items under his arm and exit the store without attempting to pay for them.  The suspect was detained and escorted back into the store while the reportee called the police.  After positively identifying the suspect and receiving a citizen’s arrest from the reportee, the officers cited the suspect for shoplifting.  Report Number 130563829

 
Serious Incidents:

1:30am       1500 Blk Sunnydale      Robbery
Officer Pai was dispatched to assist the victim of a robbery.  The victim told him that he was walking on Sunnydale when he was approached from the rear by several males who told him to give them his money.  The victim said he was then repeatedly punched on his head before he fell to the ground.  The suspects continued to hit him and rummage through his pockets, removing several items.  The suspects then fled the area and the victim ran into a bushy area and hid.  He then called the police.  He told the officers that he could identify one of the suspects, but not the rest of them.  He complained of pain to his head and an ambulance was summoned to the scene.  After medics assessed him, they determined he needed further medical treatment and was transported to the hospital.  Officers took pictures of his injuries for evidence.  They canvassed the area for the suspects but were unsuccessful in locating them. Report Number 130562956

Sgt. Springer and Officer Cross were sent to the call of a person who had been robbed.  They met with the victim who told them that she had exited a Bart train and was talking on her cellular phone when a male approached her, yanked her phone from her hand, and ran towards Bart.  The victim said she was not injured and could identify the suspect.  She said the suspect was on the same Bart train she was.  Officers searched the area for the suspect to no avail.  They contacted Bart and requested a copy of their video surveillance tape.   Report Number 130562627
