Back to School: As summer draws to a close, back-to-school season will be in full effect. Safety should be a priority for every family as children return to classrooms this fall. It’s crucial that all motorists understand how to safely share the roads with school buses, pedestrians and bicyclists. It’s also a good time for parents and children to talk about how to stay safe at school.
Mail Fraud Alert: Recently, an Ingleside Resident received an official looking letter in the mail claiming she had won $250,000.00 dollars from an International sweepstakes. The company “Global Processing Inc.” gave the appearance of sending the resident a check in the amount of $4,685.00 dollars to cover the processing fee when in fact the “check” was fake. The Nigerian letter is an advance fee fraud, a form of a confidence trick, which calls for the victim to try to deposit the fake check into their bank account and reimburse the company with a personal check to cover the fee. By the time the bank discovers the fake check is fraudulent, it’s too late. The victim is out $4,685.00 dollars. Be aware, the scam preys on people who are more trusting and the elderly. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The resident who received this letter found misspelled words and found it very suspicious. She then forwarded the letter to Captain Falvey, so that he may spread the word and prevent others from being a victim.
ALERT: There has been an increase in auto boosts in the area of Monterey, O’Shaughnessy and Bosworth. The break ins are occurring around the hours of 9:00am to 12:00pm. Please report any suspicious activity to the police. Do not leave valuables in your cars.
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.
We urge all person(s) confronted with this scam to call 911 as this is a crime in progress. By contacting 911, you greatly increase the chance of catching the suspect(s) so that the police can make an arrest. If someone approaches you with this scam, decline their help, call 911 immediately and report it to the police. Be a good witness. Obtain a description of the suspect(s) and/or vehicles they are driving.

Serious Incidents:
2:41pm 4600 Blk Mission Theft
Officers Tillan and Ng were driving along Mission Street when they happened to see a Walgreen’s employee in hot pursuit of a thief. Upon seeing the officers, the employee told them that the fleeing suspect just took several items from the store. The officers quickly caught up to the suspect who was still trying to make his escape. Officer Tillan immediately told the suspect to stop running and ordered him to the ground. Having nowhere else to go, the suspect stopped and threw various items on the ground and said, “Here take it back”. Turns out, the suspect stole a brand new set of headphones, a computer mouse and various cleaning supplies. The employee caught up to the officers and identified the suspect as the one who stole the items. He told Officer Ng that he saw the suspect take the items and made no attempt to pay for the items and proceeded to confront him outside. The suspect returned only a couple items and decided to flee the scene with the rest of the stolen items. A search of the suspect revealed he was concealing a knife underneath his pants as well. He was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for the theft and concealed weapon. Report Number: 130699377
