Arrests:
12:47am Excelsior/London Stolen Auto
We’ve written before about how older model Hondas and Toyotas
are the vehicle of choice for many car thieves. As a consequence, police
officers are always alert when seeing these vehicles. On this morning,
Ingleside Officers Sandoval and McMilton happened to see an older model Honda
Civic waiting to turn onto Mission Street from Frances Avenue. The officers
followed the car while running the plates. Dispatch informed the officers the
car was reported stolen. Sandoval and McMilton continued following the Honda as
it turned onto Excelsior and parked. The two occupants, the driver and the
passenger, exited the car and began walking away leaving the engine running and
the car stereo on. McMilton and Sandoval exited their patrol car and ordered
the men to stop. Both complied and were placed in handcuffs. Inside the vehicle
the officers discovered a “shaved” key in the ignition. In a canvas bag, the
officers found several other shaved keys along with other burglary tools. The
driver was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for possession of stolen
property and burglary tools. His passenger was released at the scene. Report
number: 160038159
Serious Incidents:

A woman walking down the street was approached by an unknown assailant
from behind and with a fist struck her on the back of the neck. The victim told
Ingleside Officers Alday and Mbeleke Eteti, that the unknown assailant then
grabbed a backpack off her shoulder and ran away eastbound on Allison Street.
The officers called for medical assistance and medics arrived to treat the
victim for her injuries. Report number: 160042398
