The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on September 17, 2013. Thank you.
Back to School: As summer draws to a close, back-to-school season will be in full effect. Safety should be a priority for every family as children return to classrooms this fall. It’s crucial that all motorists understand how to safely share the roads with school buses, pedestrians and bicyclists. It’s also a good time for parents and children to talk about how to stay safe at school.
Mail Fraud Alert: Recently, an Ingleside Resident received an official looking letter in the mail claiming she had won $250,000.00 dollars from an International sweepstakes. The company “Global Processing Inc.” gave the appearance of sending the resident a check in the amount of $4,685.00 dollars to cover the processing fee when in fact the “check” was fake. The Nigerian letter is an advance fee fraud, a form of a confidence trick, which calls for the victim to try to deposit the fake check into their bank account and reimburse the company with a personal check to cover the fee. By the time the bank discovers the fake check is fraudulent, it’s too late. The victim is out $4,685.00 dollars. Be aware, the scam preys on people who are more trusting and the elderly. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The resident who received this letter found misspelled words and found it very suspicious. She then forwarded the letter to Captain Falvey, so that he may spread the word and prevent others from being a victim.
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.
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.

Call the police.Arrests:
12:36am Unit Blk Norton Burglary/Drugs
Ingleside Officers Anderson and Cvetovac were dispatched to the area of Norton and Mission Street regarding a call of a person breaking into a vehicle. The victim said he was sleeping in his bedroom when he was woken up to the sound of his car alarm. He looked out the bedroom window only to see an unknown suspect inside his parked car. The victim kept an eye on the suspect as he rummaged through the center console and glove box. The victim immediately called the police and gave a very good description of the suspect. After a minute or so, the suspect closed the driver door and left, but returned a second time, and unsuccessfully tried to take the club off the steering wheel. The suspect walked away and was stopped a short distance away by Sergeant Smith and Sergeant Nakano who were already responding to the scene. A computer check revealed the suspect to be on active probation with a search condition. Sergeant Smith did just that and searched the suspect finding a small baggie containing Methamphetamine in one of his pockets. The suspect also had a spark plug, a shaved key and porcelain pieces all of which are commonly used as burglary tools used to gain access into cars. The victim looked inside his vehicle and saw that nothing of value had been stolen from inside. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked on several felony charges. Report Number: 130665390
1:25pm 4600 Blk Mission Stolen Property/Fraud
A Wells Fargo Bank teller helped the next customer who was trying to deposit a check into her own account in the amount of $550.00 dollars. During the transaction, the teller noticed that the check was suspicious, therefore notified the bank manager. The manager in turn did some research and contacted the owner of the check and verified through him that the check was in fact fraudulent. The police were called out without the suspect’s knowledge. When Officers Esson and Suguitan arrived, they immediately took the suspect into custody. Turns out that the suspect already cashed another check at a different Wells Fargo a few days ago in the amount of $750.00 dollars. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station where a computer check showed she also had a $10,000.00 dollar warrant for her arrest. She was charged with a couple felony charges as well as the outstanding warrant. Report Number: 130666871
6:00pm 900 Blk Geneva Robbery
Officer Fung spoke to a victim who had been robbed while standing on the 900 block of Geneva Avenue. The victim said he was standing out in front of a bakery talking on his Iphone when two unknown suspects approached him and asked him for his phone. After being ignored, one of the suspects said, “I have a gun”, while holding his hand inside his jacket pocket insinuating he did. The victim was scared, so he turned to call for help when the suspects grabbed the victim and took the phone by force. The suspects then fled being chased by the victim. A witness to the incident called the police. The suspects split up, so the victim decided to follow the suspect that had his phone. After a short distance the suspect boarded a MUNI bus where he was taken into custody by the responding units. The remaining units searched the area for the outstanding suspect to no avail. The suspect in custody was transported, interviewed and charged for the robbery. Report Number: 130668043
