Customers have been directed to make payment at various drug stores in San Francisco. The suspects sometimes use a device that “spoofs” caller ID devices to display the SFPUC customer service phone number.These calls are not coming from the SFPUC and at no time does the agency direct customers to pay water bills in person anywhere other than authorized payment locations. For a list of authorized payment locations, click here: http://www.sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=48The public is cautioned to be wary of such calls and are advised to contact the SFPUC if they have questions regarding their water bill and service. The SFPUC Customer Service Line is (415) 551-3000.Any SFPUC customers who have received such phone calls may file a suspicious occurrence report at any SFPD district station. Anyone who has been victimized by this scam should file a fraud report with the SFPD. For a list of district police stations, click here: http://sanfranciscopolice.org/police-district-maps
Arrests:4:10am Cortland & Bennington FirearmIngleside Officers Dominguez and Cortez Cendejas were on routine patrol when they spotted an older grey Cadillac with expired registration. The officers stopped the car and smelled the familiar odor of burnt marijuana coming from the car. The officers noticed the driver was very fidgety and kept searching under the front seat of the car. The officers asked him to step out of the car and he wouldn’t. After several attempts, he finally left the car and was placed sitting on the curb while the officers searched the vehicle. Inside they found a significant amount of marijuana along with a firearm hidden under the seat. When Officer Dominguez walked back to the suspect holding the gun, the suspect quickly sat up and started running away. The officers summoned assistance and chased the suspect before he was caught a short distance away. The suspect fought the two officers and, at one time, tried to take Officer Cortez-Cendejas’ firearm. He was finally placed in custody after a prolonged struggle. The officers suffered numerous abrasions and bruises and their clothing was torn during the struggle. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for the firearm violation and resisting arrest. Report number: 170818032Serious Incidents:1:00am 200 Blk.
