Heat
wave:
Many residents are leaving their windows and
doors open in an effort to keep cooler as the temperature increases during
these gorgeous sunny days. Be extra careful, especially when you leave your
home, paying attention to secure the windows and doors when you leave. Burglars
are always looking for the easiest way inside your home. Don’t give them the
opportunity for the easy access. Make sure to secure these entry points and
leave them locked when you are not around. A third of all the burglaries
committed in the Ingleside district during the month of April were due to open
garages and unlocked or open windows. Also, remember to keep hydrated with lots
of water!!
Muni Related Thefts/Robberies:
Commuters who take public transportation have been targeted by cell phone
thieves. In the last couple weeks there has been two incidents involving MUNI
related thefts and robberies here in the Ingleside District. In one of the
cases, witnesses told the officers at the scene that the suspect was watching
the victim as she focused only on her smart phone, paying no attention to her
surroundings. When the bus stopped, the suspect snatched the phone from her
hand and ran off the bus. If you’re not paying attention to your surroundings,
you’re wearing a target on your back. Smart phone owners need to be aware that
thieves may be watching you and ready to snatch your devices. The following is
some common advice to avoid becoming a victim: Always be aware of your
surroundings. If the bus is going to stop, stop what you are doing, look up,
look around and put your phone down or put it in your pocket. And when the bus
is in movement again you can go back to looking at it.
Arrests:
1:30pm 4500 Block Mission Terrorist Threats/Robbery
A man stealing a car battery caught the attention of several employees in an auto parts store. The employees followed the man as he ran down Mission, then turned west on Harrington Street toward Alemany. When one employee caught up with the robber on Harrington Street, the thief dropped the battery and started swinging at the store employee, but fortunately didn’t hit him. The suspect continued to flee down Harrington and onto Alemany. When the suspect reached the intersection of Alemany and Santa Rosa, the suspect picked up several rocks and threw them at his pursuers. The rocks landed on the ground and broke into pieces and that enabled the store employees to pick up the smaller rocks and throw them back at the robber who was entering a waiting vehicle driven by a woman. The rocks didn’t hit the thief but did strike the woman’s car which quickly fled the scene. The employees returned to the store and called police. Before the police arrived, the woman driver of the car showed up at the store and accused the employees of damaging her car with the thrown rocks. The employees said she threatened to have her boyfriend physically assault them. She also picked up several items in the store and threw them at the employees. Ingleside Officers Nelson and Fung arrived and questioned the employees and the woman suspect. After the interviews, she was arrested for criminal threats, battery, vandalism, and an outstanding warrant. Report number: 140456537

punched the husband in the face and reached into his front pants pocket to take
his wallet. The other suspect ran toward his wife who was holding her infant
daughter and pushed her into a wall. The suspect took her cell phone from her
