Arrests:
1:12am Bernal Heights /
Anderson Robbery
A rainy evening did not detour two young men and a woman from
hanging out together at the Bernal Heights Park. It was a quiet evening of
conversation for the three friends until they were approached by three men. One
of the men asked to use a lighter while the other two men slowly walked around
the group of three friends. Suddenly, one of the suspects pulled a gun and demanded
the cell phones and wallets of the three victims. All of them, fearing for
their lives, complied with the demand and handed over their property. One of
the suspects, spotting a camera on a bench, also demanded the camera belonging
to one of the victims. When the victim refused to relinquish his property, he
was punch in the face. The three suspects then took off running away down the
hill and toward Cortland Avenue. Ingleside Officers Stark, Hoge, Elliston,
Tweedy, Wells, Carew, Joseph and several other units responded to the scene and
searched the surrounding area for the suspects. On a hunch, Officers Wells,
Elliston, Hoge, and Tweedy, began searching the area around Bayshore and
Cortland for the suspects and discovered all three near a bus stop at that
intersection. Nearby, on the ground, and in a trashcan, the officers recovered
much of the stolen items taken and the weapon used in the robbery. All three
suspects were positively identified by the victims and all three suspects were
booked for armed robbery and related crimes. Report number: 160051349
