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.

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.
District Wide Burglaries in the Ingleside: In The Last month of August there have been 7 reported burglaries throughout the district. 4 of those burglaries alone have taken place in the Bernal Heights area. The different methods of entries have been through unlocked windows, sliding glass doors, unlocked side doors, unlocked garages and in one case through a doggie door where the perpetrator squeezed themselves through the small opening. Also, homes under construction have been targeted and expensive tools and appliances have been taken. As the warmer weather of fall approaches, make sure to secure your residence and that all your windows and doors are locked before leaving. If you happen to see any suspicious activity around your neighborhood that looks odd or out of place, call the police immediately.
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.

A report of a fight inside a Laundromat prompted dispatch to send Ingleside Officers Wong and Chang to investigate the disturbance. When they arrived the scene was quiet but the two officers soon found a man and woman involved with the dispute less than a block away. The woman told the officers that an old friend she regularly smoked methamphetamine with walked into the Laundromat and snatched her cell phone from her hand and then ran away. The same man took out a knife and threatened another friend who was with her at the Laundromat. Both the woman and her friend were provided with victim of violent crime and follow up forms. The officers searched the area but could not locate the suspect. Case number: 130765376

An alert clerk was suspicious when a customer, wearing gloves, walked into his store and asked to see iPhones. When the clerk said he didn’t have any, the customer walked out only to return a short time later with semi-automatic weapon and a shoulder bag. The clerk gave the suspect about ten cell phones, which the suspect put into the shoulder bag before fleeing. Ingleside Officers Lockett and Padilla searched the area for the suspect without success. The officers also took a copy of the store’s security camera video which clearly showed the suspect committing the robbery. Case number: 130766904
