The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on September 17, 2013. Thank you.
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.

Crime Alert: Precita Park / Bernal Heights Area; During the extended labor day holiday there were a total of 32 vehicles stolen in the Ingleside district as of 08/30/2013. Eight of those stolen vehicles were taken from the Precita Park and Bernal Heights area. Be sure to secure your vehicle (windows up, doors locked) before you leave your car parked on the street. Consider looking into getting an alarm or anti theft device such as a steering wheel club. This, for the most part, should deter most culprits from stealing your car. If you want to make it that much more difficult, consider installing a kill switch. Older model Hondas and Toyotas are among the most popular and easiest vehicles to steal.
CRIME ALERT: An increase of robberies and thefts has been occurring in and around the Balboa BART Station and City College area. There have been five robberies in the last couple weeks alone in this area. Be vigilant of your surroundings and follow the safety tips below.

San Francisco Community College Police Officer Lopez was walking toward Batmale Hall on campus when he noticed a man smoking marijuana in the plaza in front of the building. When he approached the citizen he also noticed a knife inside a holster attached to his belt. Officer Lopez, after radioing for backup, asked the man if it was okay to search for weapons. The suspect agreed with the request and Officer Lopez removed the knife from his belt. A search of the suspect’s backpack turned up four sandwich bags of marijuana.

He was transported to the county jail and booked for possession of a weapon on school grounds. Case number: 130720740

A homeowner trying to prevent the theft of building materials was assaulted by the thief.

When he picked up the building supplies and started walking away she yelled at him, “those aren’t recyclables, I need that”. The thief looked up and swore at her as he walked down the street. At this point the homeowner opened the front door and chased the suspect to the intersection of York and Cesar Chavez Avenue. When she grabbed her property a struggle ensued and the thief punched the homeowner several times in the face. During the struggle, the suspect dropped a bag of recyclables he was also carrying. When he reached down to pick up the recyclables with one hand and he released the homeowner’s property from the other. The homeowner then ran home with her building materials and called police.

The victim was evaluated by medical personnel at her home and treated for her injuries. Report number: 130721287
Serious Incidents:
8:00am 200 Blk Blythedale Assault
An argument over a parking spot sparked an assault involving a rolling pin and a 22 cal. handgun. It all started when a driver parked her car behind the victim’s vehicle preventing the victim from leaving the parking space. The suspect then told the victim that she, the victim, was in her spot and she would move her car when she felt like it. The victim then said, “you better move your car or I’m going to blow through it or call the cops”. The suspect then responded yelling, “I’ll give you something to call the cops about”, at which point she went inside her home and came out with a 22 cal. handgun and fired two shots at the victim, neither of which struck her. Then, the suspect went back inside her home and brought out a rolling pin and started hitting the victim in the head and shoulder. Both parties struggled for awhile before the suspect got in to a passing SUV and fled. The victim was treated at San Francisco General for her injuries and released. Case number: 130719721
