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.

6:24pm 200 Blk Geneva Evading
a Police Officer
For some time, Ingleside Station officers have been dealing
with marauding groups of unlicensed, uninsured, sometimes stolen, dirt bikes
committing numerous crimes. On this date, dispatch notified all officers that
an off duty Ingleside officer was surrounded and being threatened in the
Taraval district. Shortly after hearing the notice, Ingleside Officers Snadow
and Wise spotted a group of five masked riders, some without helmets, driving
eastbound on Geneva. The officers turned on their emergency lights and siren
and tried to detain the 5 dirt bike riders. But, instead of stopping, the
suspects took off at a high rate of speed eastbound on Geneva. Fearing for the
public safety, Snadow and Wise terminated their pursuit but continued searching
the district for the suspects. They, again encountered the group on Moscow
Street where the pursuit was resumed and then, again terminated, because of
safety concerns. Again the officers, joined by other Ingleside units, continued
looking for the suspects and finally found success when they spotted one of the
riders on his inoperable dirt bike at Geneva and Mission. He was arrested and
cited for numerous vehicle violations in addition to being charged with evading
a police officer. He was unlicensed and the dirt bike was uninsured and
licensed only for off road use. It was towed to the impound yard. Report
number: 151114998

Arrest
Ingleside Officers Hoge and Wells, while on routine patrol,
noticed a man urinating in public behind a MUNI bus stop. The officers exited
their patrol car and approached the inebriated suspect asking him to sit down
on the sidewalk because they were going to cite him for being drunk and
urinating in public. The suspect refused several times to sit down and when
officer Wells tried to place him in handcuffs, he pushed Officer Wells in the
face and chest. He was finally subdued and taken to Ingleside Station where he
was cited for the above charges as well as resisting arrest and battery on a
police officer. Report number: 151115504
