7:45am 100 Blk Precita Burglary
A man returning home from work saw a pile of items near his
front door. He also noticed that the metal gate and the front door of his home
were open. The wooden fence next to the front of his home was damaged. The back
door to his home was also damaged and open. The victim told Ingleside Officers
Alday and Mbeleke Eteti that he walked into his home and found the suspect
walking down a staircase holding the victim’s guitar. When asked what he was
doing in the home, the suspect replied that his friend told him to come get his
stuff. The victim grabbed his property from the suspect and searched the
suspect’s pockets where he found additional stolen property. At that point the
suspect said, “I don’t want any problems”, and walked out of the house. The
victim called police and numerous Ingleside units searched the surrounding
area. The search proved fruitful when Ingleside Officer Quinlan found the
suspect in a parking lot on the 3100 block of Mission. The victim was brought
to the parking lot and positively identified the suspect as the man who he saw
in his home. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for
