The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on August 20, 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.

Arrests:

3:06am       Mission/Sickles                       D.U.I
Officer Dove and Sergeant Greer responded to a report of a collision that occurred at the intersection of Mission and Sickles Avenue. Once they arrived, they noticed that the incident involved only one vehicle, which ended up hitting the curb on the Southeast corner of the intersection. They also noticed that the driver was standing outside his vehicle with a swollen lip and bloody nose. Officer Dove started speaking with the driver when he immediately smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver. When asked, the driver said he had, “Two shots of jagermeister and 3 to 4 beers”. After getting treated at the scene by medics, Officer Dove had the driver participate in several Field Sobriety Tests to which he performed at an unsatisfactory level. It was determined that the driver was traveling over the speed limit when he tried to make a left turn and struck the curb instead. The driver was ultimately arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Report Number: 130650266

When Officer Busalacchi approached the driver, he could smell a strong odor of Marijuana coming from the vehicle. When asked, the driver denied having a medical marijuana card. The driver was taken out and the vehicle searched. Officer Busalacchi found a stash of marijuana in the center console. The drug was seized and the driver was ultimately cited for the traffic violations and for possession of the marijuana. Report Number: 130652814.

The officers identified all four subjects and found that one of them was on active felony probation with a search condition.
