CAPTAIN’S MESSAGE
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Chinese New Year is right around the corner, with this year’s celebration
happening Friday February 19th. As the Year of the Dog approaches, “Chinese Blessing” scams have been on the rise. The San Francisco Police Department warns members of the Chinese Community to be aware of suspicious or strange individuals who claim to offer relief from a curse or illness in which cash and valuables must be offered. For more information on the Chinese New Year’s parade being held on Saturday, February 24th, and information on blessing scams, please click here.

identify the suspects if he saw them again.

The second victim confirmed the first victim’s story, and stated one of the suspects had also pointed the handgun at his chest. There was no loss in this incident and the first victim

  1. now i have evidence that they are juking the stats. my prius was broken into on the 31st and they stole the battery. that is grand theft and doesnt show up on the weekly stat sheet.
    total amount of damage….7900
    incident occured at arguello and edward
    wonder how many other crimes dont end up on the stat sheet
    wonder when they are putting into place the grand plan to stop auto break ins

  2. A holdup with a gun at Lake and 6th at 6:30 in the evening? That is really scary.

  3. Also there were a minimum of 30 car break-ins in a 3 block area around Clement and 4th avenue in the last 3 weeks. I imagine that number balloons to hundreds for the larger neighborhood.. Day time smash and grabs in front of everybody. police reports were filed in several of these. Anybody leaving anything of value in there car at this point is asking for trouble.

  4. The date is wrong for Chinese New Year – I think she means Friday Feb. 16.

  5. I miss the old police newsletter, way more crimes described, infused with humor as well. Whoever is doing this now, give it up.

  6. Pingback: Headlines – Bay News Now

  7. And it is incorrect to refer to the Tet Holiday as “Chinese” New Year. It is Lunar New Year.

  8. Two broken street lights at corner of Clement and 5thave. Can we get them fixed.
