Arrests:
4:46pm 400 Blk Cortland Stolen Property
A man needed a battery for his electric bicycle and decided to
purchase the item at a local store that sells electric bicycles, in fact, the
exact brand owned by the customer. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending
upon your point of view, the store had a data base of stolen bicycles. The
customer’s bicycle was on that list and the store owner called police.
Ingleside Officers Alday and Mbeleke Eteti responded and questioned the
customer who said he bought the bicycle ($3500 retail) from a friend for $400.
He was arrested for possession of stolen property. He also had a history of
arrests for possession of stolen property and drug related crimes. A search of
his clothing revealed greetings cards, credit cards, fake identification, and
more than $2400 in cash. He was booked at Ingleside Station. The bike, which
was stolen last March, was returned to the grateful owner. Report number:

5:17pm Unit Block Ruth Stolen Auto
A continuing theme of this newsletter is the high rate of
thefts involving older Honda’s and Toyotas. On this date, Ingleside Officers
Quintero, Seavey, and Sgt. Alvarez were on patrol when they spotted a 1996
Honda Accord traveling southbound on Mission Street. A man and woman were in
the car with the man driving. The officers noticed that one of the required
license plate stickers was missing from the vehicle and decided to stop the car
for further investigation. When they did they discovered that the front license
plate did not match the rear license plate. The front license plate belonged on
the vehicle which was reported stolen two days earlier. The rear license plate
was for another Honda of the same year. That plate was also stolen. The driver
was on probation out of San Francisco for a previous conviction for vehicle
theft. His license was revoked. He was transferred to Ingleside Station and
booked for auto theft. His passenger was released. Report number: 160060306
Serious Incidents:

suspects escaped in an unknown direction. Report number: 160060732
