Holiday Awareness: Buying presents online is convenient, especially for thieves.
Some follow delivery trucks and others just porch surf looking for opportunities.
So, if you’re ordering online, arrange delivery for when you or a family member
are home. If you can’t, try to arrange delivery to a local mailbox store or
have the delivery held at a safe location until you are home. If you’re
shopping the traditional way and visiting stores for your purchase, be sure to
place your packages out of sight if you have to leave them in your car.
However, it’s best not to leave anything of value in your car, even your trunk.
Thieves watch mall parking lots and downtown garages for opportunities.

Arrests:
6:49pm Mission/Geneva D.U.I
It was the night before Christmas and all through the district
the officers were busy patrolling the streets and trying to stay warm with the
weather a little “chilla”. But the hope for a quiet night was not to be for Officers
Nagai and Archilla. Dispatch received a call of a vehicle collision involving
three cars near the intersection of Geneva and Mission. When the officers
arrived they found all drivers standing near their damaged vehicles. Two
motorists said the driver of an older Nissan SUV sideswiped one of their cars
and rear ended the other when it was stopped at a red light. The woman driver
of the Nissan admitted to rear ending the stopped truck, but denied sideswiping
the Jaguar. All drivers were licensed and insured. The officers noticed the driver of the Nissan
had slurred speech and trouble walking. She was given a roadside sobriety test
which she failed. A computer check revealed she was on probation for D.U.I out
of Palo Alto. She was booked for D.U.I and transported to Mission Station where
a blood draw was performed. Later, she was taken to the county jail. Report
number: 151106606
Serious Incidents:
11:54am Persia/Prague Robbery
Ingleside Officers Archilla and Nagai were not through
with their Christmas Eve duties. Dispatched advised the pair that a woman had
been robbed of her belongings shortly before midnight. The officers sped to the
scene and found a teary eyed victim who told them that, a short time before,
she noticed a man breaking into a car in front of her home while she was
standing in her doorway. The suspect took a bag and other valuables from the
vehicle and then suddenly walked up to the victim, pinned her against the car
using his hand against her face, grabbed her cell phone and wallet and ran away
down Persia Street. A witness chased the suspect for several blocks before
losing sight of him. The victim declined medical help. Ingleside units searched
the surrounding area without success. Report number: 151107636
