August 3

Burglary -- 3:00pm. Unit Blk Duncan St Multiple Ingleside Units as well as several units from Mission Station responded to the area when advised of a burglary in progress. The male suspect involved had smashed a front window to the residence and entered the living room area wearing only a hospital gown. The resident of the house was holding her newborn child and stepped on to her back porch to scream for help. Officers set up a perimeter of the area and called the police department’s canine units to assist. The suspect had actually fled from the residence prior to police arriving on scene and was ultimately located within another residence that he had broken into. This arrest of a fleeing felon necessitated teamwork, complex coordination of multiple units as well as quality interviews in a harried atmosphere. Excellent Job by all involved!!
