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. 

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,

Arrests:

9:52am       200 Blk Day                  Stolen Vehicle
An employee of the Upper Noe Recreation Center called in a suspicious vehicle stating that there was someone sleeping inside a parked vehicle with the engine on. Officers Pereira and Aguayo responded to the area and located the parked Honda Accord. They found the male suspect sleeping inside and tried to wake him up to no avail. For safety reasons, Officer Pereira entered the vehicle and turned the ignition off. Officer Aguayo opened the driver door and had to physically shake the male suspect in order to get him to wake up. After gathering the suspect’s information, Officer Aguayo ran a computer check, which showed the suspect to have an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest. Officer Aguayo did some more research which showed the vehicle to be stolen as well. The suspect was immediately taken into custody. Officer Pereira inspected the ignition key and saw that it was a shaven down Toyota key, which is a common tactic used by common thieves to enter and/or steal vehicles. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station and booked accordingly. Report Number: 130713773


12:40pm     Unit Blk Castillo           Robbery
A robbery victim was walking home when he noticed a suspect walking towards him and asked the victim to use his phone. The victim handed over the phone and instead of using it the suspect put the phone in his pocket. The victim asked, “What are you doing?” The suspect then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the victim. Fearing for his life, the victim told the suspect to keep the phone. The victim immediately ran home and called the police telling dispatch that the suspect just fled the scene in a Black Mazda vehicle. Moments later, Officer Aslam and Walsh arrived and began tracking the victim’s phone. Officer Aslam was able to ping the phone and kept the responding units updated on the phones current location, which was showing at Mission and Trumbull Street. Officers Barcojo, Chin and Sgt Hoo were listening to the broadcast and happened to be at the right place at the right time because they saw the Black Mazda vehicle speeding past them. The officers got behind the vehicle in an attempt to pull it over, but instead lead them in a vehicle pursuit. The officers followed the vehicle as it sped through city streets having no regard for the safety of the pedestrians and vehicles on the street. Several Ingleside units joined in on the chase, pursuing the suspect vehicle through the Ingleside and Mission Districts. The suspect thought he would try to lose the officers by pulling into a driveway and sneak out of the area on foot, but the officers were right behind and apprehended the suspect. A search of the suspect turned up the victim’s phone and a search of the vehicle revealed a pellet gun that was made to look like a real handgun. The vehicle that the suspect was driving was also a stolen vehicle. The suspect was ultimately taken to Ingleside Station and booked on a several felony charges.  Report Number: 130714260


6:45pm       Alemany/Niagara           Robbery
A victim had just gotten of a MUNI bus at Mission and Geneva Avenue and was headed home. When he was in the area of Alemany and Mt. Vernon, he said he heard footsteps rapidly approaching him from behind, when suddenly two suspects confronted him. They asked the victim for the time and proceeded to check his pockets taking his wallet and cell phone. As the two suspects started to walk away, they turned around and gave the victim his phone back. The victim took advantage of the fact that he got his phone back to call the police. He provided dispatch with the suspect’s description and direction of travel. Officers Archilla and Yuen happened to be patrolling their beat when the call came out and observed the two suspects walking towards the intersection of Mission and Geneva Avenue. When the two suspects saw the officers they split up and headed in two different directions. The officers caught up to one of the suspects and detained him, while they let other Ingleside Officers know that the second suspect was still outstanding.  During the investigation, the one suspect that was detained managed to escape. He didn’t get too far because Officer Archilla, Yuen and Sgt’s Lozada and Martin were right behind him, taking him into custody a block away. Moments later, Officer Paras, who was still searching the area, said he had located the second suspect who had now ducked into a local business. The second suspect refused to cooperate and decided to fight with the officers. After a brief struggle, he was taken into custody suffering a few cuts and bruises in the process. The victim identified both suspects as the ones who robbed him moments earlier. Both suspects were charged with Robbery, conspiracy as well as resisting and delaying. Report Number: 130715434

A witness was inside his home when he heard the sound of glass shattering outside of his window. The witness quickly looked outside and saw a suspect taking out a car stereo from a parked vehicle.

The witness kept an eye on the suspect and told dispatch that he was walking towards Visitacion and Schwerin Street. Officer Gonzalez arrived at the location and searched for the suspect, but could not find him in the immediate area. At the same time, he noticed a MUNI bus driving away from the intersection as he arrived.

Arrests:

1:00am       Mission/Cortland                    Assault
When Ingleside officers Chew and Lustenberger arrived at the scene of an assault they found the victim lying on the sidewalk, unconscious and bleeding from the left side of his face. Next to the victim was a stopped Muni bus where the driver told both officers that the victim and suspect had been fighting a short time before. The Muni operator further explained that the two were in a verbal altercation on the bus that escalated into a physical battle. The suspect pushed the victim into the bus windshield before both fell out of the vehicle onto the sidewalk. The suspect kicked the victim’s head once, before running away. A few blocks away, Ingleside officers Brown and Ferronato found the suspect and detained him. He was positively identified by a witness and the suspect and was taken to Ingleside station and booked for assault and two outstanding warrants for his arrest. The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and treated for a broken cheek bone. Report number: 130706756


3:17pm       Leland/Bayshore                    Disturbing the Peace
Ingleside Officers Esson and Sugitan were driving eastbound on Leland Avenue when they noticed a man, dressed in camouflage, riding a bike down the sidewalk at a high speed, He was weaving around pedestrians which was dangerous to him and people walking on the sidewalk. When the man made eye contact with the officers he raised his left hand, while signaling an international symbol of disrespect toward the officers and sped off. The officers lost site of the bike rider for a short time but soon caught up with him at the intersection of Bayshore and Leland. When the suspect saw the officers he got off his bike and walked toward them with his fists clenched yelling, “do you have something to say to me?” The officers stopped and exited their car with Officer Esson taking out his baton in a defensive manor. The suspect then stopped advancing toward the officers and started reaching into one of his pockets. The officers quickly grabbed a hold of his arms and placed him in handcuffs. A body search found a knife in one of the suspect’s pockets. He was talking irrationally and admitted to drinking an alcoholic beverage a short time before. He was transported to the hospital for evaluation and later cited for disturbing the peace and other violations. Report number: 130708229


5:12pm       Unit Blk Leland                       Bad Checks
Ingleside Officers Kilgariff, Ocreto and Busalacchi were sent to a bank regarding a person trying to deposit a bad check. When they arrived, the officers met with the bank manager who said that a man gave a teller a check for $940 from a local company. When a bank employee called the company, a representative told him the check was a duplicate forgery of an original check that had already been deposited by someone else. The officers then took the suspect into custody and searched him where they found a quantity of narcotics. A computer query turned up a warrant for his arrest out of Oakland. The suspect was taken to Ingleside station and booked for fraud and narcotic charges and the warrant. Report number: 130711965


6:42pm       100 Blk Tara                           Robbery
When Ingleside officers Shugars and Cavanaugh arrived at the scene of a robbery, San Jose and Mount Vernon, they strangely found the intersection quiet. As they drove up Mt. Vernon the officer was flagged down by a driver who told the officers he witnessed a woman being “beaten up” at the corner of Niagara and Tara Streets. Shugars and Cavanaugh drove up Tara Street and found the robbery victim pointing towards the end of a dead end street. When they looked up the street, the officers noticed a man jumping over the fence at the end of the block. The officers quickly grabbed the robber who had grabbed  the victim’s cell phone as she waited for a bus at San Jose and Geneva avenues. He was arrested along with an accomplice and taken to Ingleside station where they were booked on a variety of charges. Case number: 130708843

Incident Date:
Saturday, August 24th, 2013


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. 

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。

Attention Bernal Heights Residents: Make sure all your doors and windows are locked. Especially the side doors leading into your home or garage. Several burglaries have taken place in the Bernal Heights area where opportunists (burglary suspects) have used these unlocked doors to gain entry into numerous homes to commit these burglaries. Many times homeowners forget to lock these side doors. Pay special attention when leaving your home by securing and locking these entry points.

Arrests:

3:15pm       Mission/Silver                         Vandalism
Officers Fulgado and Johnson were driving down Mission Street when they were flagged down by a MUNI driver regarding a vandalism that just occurred. The driver pointed to a suspect who was standing at the corner and told them he had just vandalized the bus with graffiti. The driver said he pulled into the bus stop to let passengers on and off the bus. When he was about to pull out into the lane of traffic, he glanced over at his side view mirror, and observed the suspect writing on the side of the bus. The driver exited the bus and confronted the suspect and told him to stop. The suspect looked at the driver and continued to vandalize the bus with graffiti, totally ignoring the bus driver. When told to stop a second time, the suspect responded and threatened the bus driver. The driver happened to see the officers driving by and stopped them informing them of the vandalism. Officer Fulgado walked to the corner and detained the suspect. A search of the suspect revealed a Green marker which was used to vandalize the bus. He was ultimately cited for the misdemeanor vandalism and was sent on his way. Officer Fulgado took several picture of the vandalism as evidence. Report Number: 130705623

10:58pm     Sunnydale/Hahn                     Stolen Vehicle
 Officers Ma and Cvetovac were on routine patrol driving down Sunnydale Avenue headed in the eastbound direction when they observed a Jeep Liberty in front of them traveling at a very low rate of speed. Officer Cvetovac decided to run the license plate, which showed the vehicle as a reported stolen vehicle. The officers notified dispatch and requested back-up as there were three occupants inside the car. As soon as backup arrived, the officers affected a felony stop on the vehicle taking all three occupants into custody. Turns out the driver had no driver’s license and had a warrant out for her arrest. The two passengers checked out and were released from the scene. The driver was charged for being in possession of a stolen vehicle as well as driving with no license and the outstanding warrant. The vehicle was released to its rightful owner.
