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.

Crime Alert: Precita Park / Bernal Heights Area; During the extended labor day holiday there were a total of 32 vehicles stolen in the Ingleside district as of 08/30/2013. Eight of those stolen vehicles were taken from the Precita Park and Bernal Heights area. Be sure to secure your vehicle (windows up, doors locked) before you leave your car parked on the street. Consider looking into getting an alarm or anti theft device such as a steering wheel club. This, for the most part, should deter most culprits from stealing your car. If you want to make it that much more difficult, consider installing a kill switch. Older model Hondas and Toyotas are among the most popular and easiest vehicles to steal.
CRIME ALERT: An increase of robberies and thefts has been occurring in and around the Balboa BART Station and City College area. There have been five robberies in the last couple weeks alone in this area. Be vigilant of your surroundings and follow the safety tips below.

7:30am Arlington/Richland D.U.I
Ingleside Officer Adams was driving eastbound on Arlington Street when she noticed a car had collided with a cement wall at the southwest corner of Arlington and Richland Avenue. Two witnesses to the collision were yelling and pointing, “He just got out of the car”. Officer Adams noticed a man wearing a black jacket, white t-shirt and blue jeans, walking about a block away. She drove up to the suspect and asked him to halt and get on the ground. Instead, the suspect turned toward a sloped ledge, and jumped rolling down a hill onto San Jose Avenue. He then got up and started running away. Officer Adams notified dispatch of his escape and soon Ingleside Officers Curry and Trujillo found the suspect lying on the ground asleep and took him into custody. Medical personnel were summoned and when they arrived they were initially unable to wake the suspect from his slumber. With continued effort, he finally awoke enough to admit to the officers that he had been drinking. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital for some injuries he sustained during the collision. He was later transported to county jail and booked for driving under the influence and narcotics violations for a supply of marijuana found in his car. Case number: 130725687

Campos and Barajas searched the area and soon found the suspect in front of a home on Santos Street. A record check showed that he was on active probation out of San Francisco with a search and seizure condition. Along with Ingleside Officers Campos and Alvarez, Campos and Barajas searched the suspect and found a small baggie containing black tar heroin. The suspect was taken to county jail and booked for possession of narcotics. Report number: 130726328
