Blk Mission Robbery w/gun
A gas station clerk paid little specific attention to a
customer who entered and bought a soft drink. The customer took out a $5 bill
and, while the clerk made change, the customer also withdrew a black revolver
from his waistband. The clerk opened the register and surrendered a moderate
amount of cash. The suspect exited the station and walked quickly away eastbound
on Silver Avenue. Ingleside Officers Thompson, Morgante, Sgt. Dalton and
members of the Ingleside Station Investigative scene responded to the scene and
collected important evidence. Report number: 160011155

Blk Mission Theft
A restaurant customer walked out of the establishment
with her lunch in one hand and her Louis Vuitton wallet in the other.
Immediately after leaving the restaurant a man rushed up, grabbed the wallet
from her hand, and ran away northbound on Mission Street. The victim told
Ingleside Officers Zasly and Ocreto that the suspect may have had an accomplice
and her loss, besides the purse, was a significant amount of currency, credit cards,
and a four figure personal check. Several Ingleside units searched the area for
the suspects without success. Video from several security cameras in the
vicinity was collected and given to investigators. Report number: 160011854

walked up behind the victim and grabbed the key ring at the same time pushing
the victim into a wall. The victim told the officers she wasn’t injured during

hoping he would respond in the next few hours. Report number: 160013264
