Arrests:
3:30pm Sunnydale/Talbert Robbery
A Muni passenger on a #9 bus thought it was a good time to
check the news on his IPhone. Unfortunately, it also provided an opportunity
for five young men to relieve the passenger of his IPhone. The five grabbed the
phone out of the victim’s hands and ran off the bus. The victim followed and
was able to grab and hold onto one of the suspect’s jackets during the chase. When
one of the suspects threatened to fight the victim, the victim demurred and
watched the suspects flee. A woman driving by saw the commotion and told the
victim to get into her car and started following the suspects while calling
police. Ingleside Officers Dominguez, Chew Trail, and Hopkins responded to the
call and found all five suspects walking on Leland Street. The victim and the Good
Samaritan confirmed their identity. After interviewing the victims two of the
five were released to their parents and the other three were booked for robbery
at the Juvenile Justice Center. The victim’s IPhone was recovered using the
“Find My IPhone App.”. Report number: 160056571
6:53pm 600 Blk Monterey Robbery
A man and woman decided to do some grocery shopping. However,
they had no intention of paying for the items in their cart. A store security
guard watched as the pair pushed their car past the cash registers and into the
parking lot. The guard confronted the two and told them to return to the store
to pay for them. But, the pair refused. The male suspect then punched the guard
several times in the face. They loaded the stolen items into a plastic bag and
quickly ran toward and boarded a passing #43 Muni bus. Ingleside Officers Wise
and Snadow responded to the store and interviewed the victim and witnesses.
Ingleside Officers Wells and Marshall caught up with the bus on the 700 block
of Geneva Avenue and arrested the suspects with the groceries in their
possession. The guard, who declined medical attention, was brought to the scene
and positively identified the suspects. The man and woman were taken to
Ingleside Station and booked for robbery and the male suspect was also booked
for an outstanding warrant. Report number: 160057096
Serious Incidents:
12:21am Joost/Acadia Robbery
Two women walking on Joost Street, near Acadia, were passed by
three men walking in the opposite direction. Suddenly, the three men turned
around and one of them produced what the victim’s described as a shotgun. The
suspects yelled for the women to drop to the sidewalk and put their purse and
backpacks on the ground. The women complied and the suspects picked up the
purse and backpack containing identification, credit and debit cards, phones,
and fled. Ingleside Officers Villalozano and Wong responded to the scene and
talked to the victims. Other officers searched the surrounding area for the
suspects without success. One of the victim’s told Villalozano and Wong that
she did not want the suspects arrested or harmed. Both victims declined medical
attention. Report number: 160054456
