The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on August 20, 2013.  Thank you.

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. 

最近傳單流傳社區針對中國語的詐騙。這些騙局及一個邪惡的精神,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,
並立即撥打911向警方報案。

Serious Incidents:

12:41am     100 Blk Tucker                      Drugs
Officers Burke and Imhoff responded to a report of a working 2 alarm house fire on the 100 block of Tucker Avenue. Several Fire trucks and firemen had already arrived and had extinguished the fire before the officers arrived. An arson investigator with the fire department  informed Officer Burke that the residence was being used as an illegal Marijuana grow house and that the cause of the fire was the poor electrical wiring that was used to operate the illegal Marijuana operation. Officer Burke walked through the residence and could see that most of the rooms inside the residence were being used to grow the plants, but that most of the plants and equipment had been damaged by the extensive fire. The officers at the scene collected what was left and is still under investigation. The house was empty at the time and no one was injured during the fire. Report Number: 130626201

The victim ran after the suspect, but fell down during her pursuit, and lost sight of him. Several units scoured the area to no avail.
