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.

6:11am 500 Blk Hearst Burglary
An alert resident told dispatch that he noticed a man, wearing all black clothing, peering into vehicles on his street. Ingleside Officers Rand, Gallo, and Baldovino responded and spotted a man fitting that description about two blocks away from the original address. The suspect was stopped and questioned and, during the conversation, consented to a search of his backpack which contained a pair of channel lock pliers, along with a pair of long tweezers. He also had a small shaved car key in his back pocket which thieves use to gain entry into vehicles. The suspect was taken Ingleside station where he said he was dropped off by an accomplice in the area to look for vehicles where “there was anything worth taking.” He said he tried opening the door of one vehicle but the key didn’t work. A computer check revealed the suspect had prior arrests for car theft and possession of burglary tools. He was booked at Ingleside for attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools.
