The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on August 20, 2013.  Thank you.

ALERT:  There has been an increase in auto boosts in the area of 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. 

最近傳單流傳社區針對中國語的詐騙。這些騙局及一個邪惡的精神,他們告訴受害人邪惡會跟隨你。他們會問你攜帶你的貴重物品祭神為您祈禱,事後他們將您的貴重物品歸還.然後會告訴你在一天時間不要看您的貴重物品。一天後,當您檢查您的貴重物品,你會發現,犯罪嫌疑人並沒有歸還您的貴重物品

因為這是一個正在進行中的犯罪騙局。

我們呼籲所有的人,面對這種詐騙,
請撥打911,這將大大增加逮捕機會,是一個很好的證人和嘗試取得犯罪嫌疑人的描述,或他們所駕駛的車輛。

如果有人接近你,請記住這是一個騙局,請拒絕他們的幫助,
並立即撥打911向警方報案。

Arrests:

1:45pm       Ocean/Lee                              Fraud
A victim told Officer Morgante that he was sitting inside a local restaurant when he was approached by an unknown suspect who introduced himself and engaged him in conversation. During the conversation the suspect said he was locked out of his home and asked for the victim’s help to get a locksmith. The suspect went on to say that he’s been a supervisor with the MTA for the last 25 years and that he could get the victim a job. The victim said he was looking for a job and was interested. The suspect asked the victim for a small amount of money and said he would talk to him the next day. The victim agreed and gave the suspect some money. The next day the suspect called the victim and told him he lined up a position for him and needed a larger amount of money for the union dues. Excited about getting a job the victim proceeded to give the suspect the money for the union dues. Another day after that, the suspect called the victim asking for more money. The victim at this point was suspicious and decided to do some of his own investigating and Googled the suspect. Turns out the suspect gave his real name and has been arrested before for running the same scam.  The victim went straight to the police to report the fraud. With the help of Inspector Gasanyan and several Ingleside Officers they arranged to meet the suspect where they quickly nabbed him before he knew what was going on. The suspect was charged accordingly and booked. Report Number: 130630898.

2:40pm       3300 Blk Mission                   Robbery
Officers Cross and Goldsborough went to a robbery call at an establishment on the 3300 block of Mission Street. The witnesses, who are loss prevention officers, said they observed a familiar suspect walking through the store. The witnesses told the officers that this person has been caught stealing from the store before and was told never to return. Well today, they kept an eye on her as she made her way to the deli aisle and liquor aisle. She then picked out a Vodka liquor bottle and a sushi tray and walked out of the store making no attempt to pay for the items. The witnesses went to confront her, but her male accomplice, who had a visible knife in his back pocket, verbally threatened both witnesses before walking away. Officer Cross looked at the surveillance tape and put out a description. Several Ingleside Officers searched the area to no avail. Hours later, Officers responded to an unrelated call on the 3100 block of Mission Street involving the same two suspects. The suspects were identified and charged with the robbery and threats. Report Number: 130631169.
