On August 25th at 11:00 AM, Officers were patrolling on the 1700 block of Oakdale. They saw a subject who they knew to be on active parole, with a warrantless search condition, walking down the street. When the suspect noticed the Officers, he quickly put his hands in front of his pants as if concealing something. The Officers decided to conduct a parole search on the subject. The search yielded an AM/FM/CD car stereo receiver in the suspect’s front waistband. He admitted that the car stereo was not his and that he was about to sell it. The Officers also located a screwdriver and 2 crack pipes on the suspect and placed him under arrest.
A call was made to the suspect’s Parole Officer who requested that a parole hold be placed on the suspect. He was booked at Bayview Station. An investigation into locating the victim of the stolen car stereo is ongoing. (SFPD Case No. 110681708)

On August 25th at 10:13 PM, Bayview Plainclothes Officers were just pulling up to a residence, in the area of San Bruno and Silliman, where they were going to conduct a probation search. Prior to exercising the search, they saw three subjects leave the residence and detained them pending the outcome of their investigation. A record check revealed that one of the subjects had an outstanding parole violation warrant for his arrest. He was taken into custody and booked at Bayview Station. (SFPD Case No. 110683588)

On August 28th between 3:00 PM and 9:00 AM the following morning, a business on the 2000 block of Oakdale was burglarized. The owner stated that camera equipment had been stolen from his office while the establishment was closed. He suspected one employee in particular. This investigation is ongoing.

On August 29th at 5:22 PM, a robbery occurred in the area of Blanken and Executive Park. The victim stated that he was walking on Blanken when he felt someone from behind grab his backpack. He was thrown to the ground and looked up to see two suspects standing over him. One of the suspects grabbed his backpack and pulled it off his shoulders then removed the victim’s cell phone from his pocket. Both suspects then fled west on Blanken. The responding Officers searched for the suspects but could not locate them that day. This incident is under investigation. (SFPD Case No. 110694109)

On August 29th at 11:30 PM, Officers patrolling in the area of Oakdale and Loomis observed a vehicle fail to stop for a stop sign at the intersection. They followed the vehicle which accelerated to approximately 50 MPH in a 25 MPH zone and successfully pulled it over at Napoleon and Jerrold. When they made contact with the driver, they noticed that he appeared heavily intoxicated. He had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol emanating from his breath. It took them several times ordering him out of the car before he finally complied.
The driver was asked if he had been drinking and he replied, “No. I don’t drink”. However, the Officers observed that there was a 40 oz bottle of Miller beer in the car that only had 1/3 of it’s contents remaining. The Officers gave the suspect several sobriety tests, which he failed, and placed him under arrest. After taking a breath test with a result of .227% blood alcohol level (legal limit is .08), the suspect refused to cooperate further and had to get a mandatory blood draw pending conclusive results of his inebriation. A record check revealed that the suspect was on active probation for driving under the influence out of Alameda County. He was booked on multiple charges at Bayview Station. (SFPD Case No. 110694808)

On August 30th at 2:00 AM, an attempted burglary took place at a business on the 2500 block of 3rd St. A vigilant neighbor heard the noise coming from the suspect trying to break in and was able to scare him off. The suspect was last seen fleeing the scene in a white van. (SFPD Case No. 110695925)
That same morning at 3:30 AM, Officers responded to a burglar alarm on the 1300 block of Fairfax. On their arrival, they discovered a ladder propped up against the building, leading to an open second story window. They conducted a building search but did not find anyone inside. The owner of the warehouse responded and after surveying the establishment stated that although it was obvious that drawers and cabinets had been rummaged through, nothing appeared to be taken. There were fingerprints and smudges on the open window that most likely were made by the suspect and the crime lab was called in to collect the evidence. (SFPD Case No. 110694977)
Later at 5:40 AM, another burglary took place at a restaurant at 3rd and Evans. The suspect entered by breaking a window. The owner of the premise told Officers that approximately $600 had been stolen during the incident. There was video surveillance in the premise that captured the crime, showing the suspect, enter and exit the restaurant. The video was taken as evidence. (SFPD Case No. 110695436)
All of the above burglaries are under investigation by the Bayview Investigative Team.

On August 30th at 1:20 PM, while patrolling the area of McKinnon and Newhall when they saw what appeared to be a hand to hand drug transaction between two suspects on the 1600 block of McKinnon, an area known for high narcotic sales. As they approached both individuals, they became startled with one immediately putting his hands in his pants pockets and the other into his jacket pocket. On questioning, one of the subjects admitted to having just purchased crack from the other guy for $3.00. The small crack rock was located in his pants pocket. They placed the second suspect under arrest and located the $3.00 in his jacket pocket. He was booked on numerous narcotics related charges at Bayview Station (SFPD Case No. 110696149)

On August 30th at 5:10 PM, Officers responded to the area of 3rd and Palou regarding a fight involving a subject with a gun. Multiple units responded to the area along with officers of the Violent crime Task Force. As these Officers got closer to the intersection, they observed a large crowd frantically running from the 1500 block of Palou. Assuming that that was where the incident originated, they drove towards the area. They saw a subject run and duck behind a sports utility vehicle as he watched another squad car drive by. When the car passed his hiding spot, he got up and began to walk away. The officers observed that he had a chrome handgun in his hand. He suddenly noticed the Officers and began running toward a large Recology debris box where he briefly ducked behind before running out the other side. The Officers stopped him without incident and placed him under arrest. The .38 caliber handgun was found in plain sight lying at the curb line near the debris box. The Officer who was securing the gun was surprised to find another weapon directly underneath the debris box. This was a sawed off shotgun partially concealed in a bag. The officer secured both weapons.
An off-duty police officer from Atlanta happened to be in the area at the time of the original altercation and came forward as a witness. He identified an individual already detained by other Officers as having threatened to shoot another subject in the altercation. He was placed under arrest. A third individual detained by police for further investigation was found to have a no bail warrant for his arrest and taken into custody. Gun shot residue tests were performed on all of the suspects at Bayview Station with results pending. All three suspects were booked for weapons and warrant charges. (SFPD Case No. 110697084)
