Recently,
a flyer was distributed to the community regarding scams targeting the monolingual
Chinese. These scams involve telling the
victim that an evil spirit is following them.
They will ask the victim to bring valuables to pray over as an offering
to the spirit. They will return to the victim what is believed to be their valuables.
They will ask the victim not to look at their valuables for a day. When the victim later checks their valuables,
they find that the valuables were not returned by the suspects.

Ingleside Officers Gross and Burke were patrolling the Mission Street area when they were dispatched to a robbery and assault near the intersection of Mission and Farragut Streets. When they arrived, they found a male victim suffering from injuries to his head and abdomen. While waiting for medical assistance, the man told the officers that he had just left a local laundry when three men, wearing black pants and sweatshirts, approached him and asked for his cell phone. When he told them he didn’t have a cell phone, one of the men punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. While on the ground, the other two suspects began kicking the victim. They rifled through his pockets and removed his cell phone and $40 in cash. After the theft and assault, the victim said the suspects ran down Alemany.
