The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on January 21, 2014.  Thank you.

Outstanding Police Work:  Members of the Ingleside Police Station have been hard at work, while putting their lives on the line, and recovered a total of five guns between a five day period, beginning Oct 31, 2013 to Nov 5, 2013. Among the weapons recovered were three handguns, one shotgun and one Tech-9 sub-machine gun all stemming from four separate incidents. Of the five subjects taken into custody, two were on probation and had extensive police records. We strongly believe that these great arrests may have prevented some serious crimes from taking place. Thanks to these great officers, the streets are a little saferJ.

Three steps to becoming an

A.L.E.R.T. volunteer:

1. Complete NERT training and receive certification. To register for NERT training courses please visit www.sfgov.org/sfnert

2. Once NERT certified, forward a copy of your NERT ID card to the ALERT program. sfpdalert@sfov.org

The next ALERT training class has been scheduled for Jan. 18^th, 2014, from 8:00am-5:00pm. This class will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy, in the parking lot bungalow.

Scam Alert:  Here is how it works: the suspect will call the victim and identify himself as a PG&E employee.  The suspect will ask for the victim by name and ask if he/she is the owner of a particular business or property.  Once the victim replies yes, the suspect tells the victim that his/her bill is delinquent in a specific amount.  The suspect then tells the victim that he/she needs to pay the delinquent bill by a certain time or their service will be terminated.  The suspect instructs the victim to buy MoneyPak cards in a specific amount.  The suspect then instructs the victim to read the card's code numbers to him over the phone.  Once that is done, the money is gone and the scam is complete.

The suspect will give the victim a call-back number that goes to a voicemail that identifies itself via recording as PG&E.

Arrests:

5:21pm       Mission/Excelsior                            Drugs
Non-working brake lights led to the arrest of a narcotics dealer. Two alert Ingleside Officers Lustenberger and Chew noticed both brake lights were out on a late model Mercedes traveling southbound on Mission Street. The officers stopped the car to advise the driver of the malfunctioning lights. When they approached the vehicle and looked inside the officers noticed a jar of marijuana on the passenger seat. The driver told the officers that he had a medical marijuana card but he didn’t have it with him. Then the driver made a spontaneous statement, “Officers, I have to tell you something, I have Molly in my car”. Molly is the street name for a powerful illegal narcotic known as  MDMA.  Officer Lustenberger handcuffed the suspect and drove him to Ingleside station. Officer Chew drove the suspect’s car to Ingleside Station so it could be thoroughly searched. In the car, besides the marijuana and several MDMA pills, the officers found a scale for weighing narcotics and several baggies used for packaging the substances. The suspect gave officers permission to search his cell phone which turned up numerous text messages from customers. The suspect was booked at Ingleside station on numerous narcotics charges.

Arrests:

1:35pm       1500 Blk Sunnydale               Terrorist Threats
Ingleside Officers Peregoy and Trail were dispatched to a call of “a person with a gun”, described as a young woman. When they arrived they saw the suspect enter an apartment and lock the security gate behind her. The officers went to the front door and announced, “Police! Open the door”.  There was no answer to that request or to the same request by police at the back door of the residence. The officers tried several times to talk to someone in the home but no one would answer the door.  Other Ingleside officers interviewed the residents of a nearby home who made the original call and they confirmed that the woman who went into the home and locked the door was the one who brandished a firearm and threatened to harm them. The officers at the suspect’s address finally entered the home and arrested the suspect charging her with threats and weapons violations. Report number: 131069147

Arrests:

4:53am       1800 Block  Sunnydale                Robbery

A woman was robbed of her belongings while dropping a co-worker off at a residence. The victim told Ingleside Officers Lok and Dilag that she parked and walked with her co-worker into a residence to use the bathroom. When she went back to her car alone two occupants of the home followed her outside and one of them pointed a handgun at her demanding her purse, cell phone, over $200 in cash, and debit card. One suspect then got into her car and ordered her to drive away from the residence. A short time later, the suspect told her to stop the car and he got out and walked away. The victim stopped a woman walking down the street and asked her to call the police. Officers Dilag and Lok, along with other Ingleside and Bayview officers drove to the address where the crime took place and found the two suspects in the living room along with the victim’s cell phone. Both were driven to Ingleside station and booked for robbery. Report number: 131064664


9:10am       400 Block Hoffman                    Burglary
Ingleside Officers Archilla and Yuen were on patrol when they spotted a vehicle that was possibly involved in several burglaries. The two officers were joined by their colleagues, Ingleside Officers Barajas and Padilla, as the suspect vehicle drove through Noe Valley and eventually parked in the 400 Block of Hoffman Avenue. The male driver of the vehicle got out and walked to an apartment house on Hoffman and disappeared into a side alley. Meanwhile, the female passenger stayed in the car and was talking on her cell phone. A short time later, the passenger slid into the driver’s seat and started driving down the street and stopped to pick up the male who had exited an apartment building holding a brown bag. The man got back into the driver’s seat and he, and his female passenger, started driving away with the police following a safe distance behind. The officers broadcast a description of the suspects and, with the help of other Ingleside units, stopped the vehicle at 24^th and Sanchez Streets. Both occupants were placed in handcuffs and a search of the vehicle turned up a laptop computer, a GPS device, several items of jewelry, and a cell phone. The occupants along with the car were taken to Ingleside Station. Officer Yuen and Archilla traveled back to the Hoffman apartment home and found an unlocked window with blinds that were disturbed. The officers entered the residence and found the apartment in disarray with dresser drawers opened and laptop cables disconnected. The residents of the apartment were located and traveled to Ingleside station where they identified their property found in the suspect’s car. Both suspects were booked at Ingleside Station for burglary. Report number: 131064993

Arrests:


2:00pm       3300 Blk Mission                       Robbery
Ingleside Officers Wang and Guzman were patrolling Mission Street when they were dispatched to a call of a robbery at a supermarket. When they arrived, store security already had the suspect in custody in the back of the store. The two security officers told Guzman and Wang that the female suspect was spotted taking a bottle of liquor from a shelf, hiding it in her clothing, then walking past the checkout counters and out of the store. The security officers confronted the thief on the sidewalk and, after a brief struggle, managed to recover the liquor, handcuff the suspect, and bring her back to the store. A computer check revealed the female thief had an outstanding felony warrant for her arrest. She was taken to the county jail and booked for robbery and the warrant. Report number: 131063371


2:04pm       500 Blk Athens                          Stolen Vehicle
An alert neighbor helped police nab a vehicle thief. The citizen called police after spotting a trespasser in the back of a neighbor’s home working on a motor scooter. Ingleside Officers Naval and Morrow responded and talked to the backyard mechanic who was using a screwdriver to work on a Shenke scooter. The suspect said he bought the vehicle at auction and had it towed to this location. When the officers asked for a bill of sale or registration the mechanic suspect said he didn’t have any. A computer check revealed the scooter registered to a nearby address on Athens and the officers contacted the owner who stated the vehicle was stolen from in front of his home. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for vehicle theft. Report number: #131063127


8:40p 600 Blk Chenery                              Armed Robbery
Two alert police officers patrolling the Tenderloin helped arrest a suspect in an Ingleside robbery. It all started when woman working at her shop on Chenery Street was robbed at gunpoint of her purse containing $400 cash, credit cards, and driver’s license, along with a laptop and cell phone. Ingleside Officers Gonzalez and Austin responded to the robbery scene and broadcast a description of the suspect and the items stolen. A short time later, Tenderloin Officers Scafani and Goff spotted a Mercedes Benz, with illegally tinted drivers and passenger windows, driving on McAllister Street near the Hastings College of Law. The officers stopped the car and while searching the vehicle, found most of the property belonging to the robbery victim. Other officers searching the area found additional property of the victim underneath parked vehicles on the street. The victim was brought from the Ingleside district to the scene of the traffic stop to see if she could identify the three occupants of the vehicle as one of the robbers. After carefully looking at the occupants she told Officers Gonzalez and Austin that none of the three were the men who robbed her. However, Officer Scafani said there was a fourth occupant who exited the vehicle shortly before it was pulled over. The officer, along with several crime reduction team members, searched the area for video surveillance cameras and found one with a clear picture of the fourth occupant. It was shown to the victim and she identified the man as the one who robbed her. Police are actively searching for him at this time. The driver of the Mercedes was taken to Ingleside Station and booked for receiving stolen property and for possession of illegal fireworks which were discovered in the trunk of his vehicle. Report number: 131063898

Erica Arteseros at (415)970-2022 or sffdnert@sfgov.org

Are you someone who is interested in disaster preparedness and wants to help out your community while working hand in hand with law enforcement? Then the ALERT program is for you!                                     

                                            What is the A.L.E.R.T. Program?

The San Francisco Police Department has developed a volunteer citizen disaster preparedness program. The Auxiliary Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) is modeled after and works in partnership with the San Francisco Fire Department's Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT). The ALERT program will train members of the public to assist law enforcement in essential tasks after a major disaster. Such tasks may include: traffic control, foot patrol of business and residential areas, and reporting criminal activity. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and live, work, or attend high school in San Francisco.

Three steps to becoming an

A.L.E.R.T. volunteer:

1. Complete NERT training and receive certification. To register for NERT training courses please visit www.sfgov.org/sfnert

2. Once NERT certified, forward a copy of your NERT ID card to the ALERT program. sfpdalert@sfov.org

3. After clearing a basic background check the individual is eligible to register for ALERT training.

The next ALERT training class has been scheduled for Jan. 18^th, 2014, from 8:00am-5:00pm. This class will be held at the San Francisco Police Academy, in the parking lot bungalow.

Scam Alert:  Here is how it works: the suspect will call the victim and identify himself as a PG&E employee.  The suspect will ask for the victim by name and ask if he/she is the owner of a particular business or property.  Once the victim replies yes, the suspect tells the victim that his/her bill is delinquent in a specific amount.  The suspect then tells the victim that he/she needs to pay the delinquent bill by a certain time or their service will be terminated.  The suspect instructs the victim to buy MoneyPak cards in a specific amount.  The suspect then instructs the victim to read the card's code numbers to him over the phone.  Once that is done, the money is gone and the scam is complete.

The suspect will give the victim a call-back number that goes to a voicemail that identifies itself via recording as PG&E.

If you receive a call like this, please call the customer service number on your billing statement to confirm the call is legitimate.  If that call turns out to be a scam, please have a police report made

A couple hours later, the building manager noticed that the same suspect had returned and was now trying to steal a vehicle that was parked in the same secured garage. She immediately called the police. As the officers made their way down to the garage, the building manager saw the suspect walking out of the building and immediately pointed at the suspect. The officer ran after the suspect and caught up to him across the street and was taken into custody.
