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 Monterey, 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:
6:40am Rey/Visitacion Vehicle Burglary
A witness was inside his home when he heard the sound of glass shattering outside of his window. The witness quickly looked outside and saw a suspect taking out a car stereo from a parked vehicle. He then immediately called the police and provided a description. The suspect was so quick to steal the car stereo that it only took him seconds before walking away. The witness kept an eye on the suspect and told dispatch that he was walking towards Visitacion and Schwerin Street. Officer Gonzalez arrived at the location and searched for the suspect, but could not find him in the immediate area. At the same time, he noticed a MUNI bus driving away from the intersection as he arrived. Officer Gonzalez decided to stop the bus just in case the suspect had the bright idea of using the bus as his escape. Turns out, that Officer Gonzalez’s hunch was right. When he and Officer Morrow boarded the bus, they found the suspect along with the stolen stereo. The witness identified the suspect and the owner/victim of the vehicle identified the stereo as being hers. A search of the suspect revealed wire cutters and screw drivers left behind at the scene. The suspect was taken back to Ingleside Station and booked on several felony charges including vehicle burglary and possession of stolen property. Report Number: 130709891
Serious Incidents:
1:24am 4700 Blk Mission Assault
Officers Brown and Anderson were dispatched to a call of a stabbing that took place along the 4700 block of Mission Street. They spoke to the victim, who said he and his friends just left a night club and were on their way to get something to eat when a suspect approached them from behind and proceeded to stab him several times in the back. The suspect then turned around and ran away. The victim said he has no idea why anyone would stab him. A witness who happened to be driving by saw the incident and followed the suspect a short distance before losing sight of him in the area of Mission and Leo Street. The witness came back to talk with the officers on scene and provided an excellent description of the victim. The victim was transported to the local hospital for treatment and was said to be in stable condition. The case is still under investigation. Report Number: 130709716
