At 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, when most teenagers are idling on their way home from school, two teenagers jumped a 13-year-old girl on the 800 block of Treat Avenue, placed her in a headlock and pulled her into a nearby alley, police reported.
There they searched her, and left with her cell phone and MP3 player.
Membership?
Are you a gang member? asked three young suspects, including a 16-year-old.
The victim, a 24-year-old male, presumably said no as he stood at 24th Street and York on Wednesday at 7:21 p.m. The suspects took the victim’s cell phone and an undisclosed amount of clothing and fled the scene.
Police allegedly saw the youngest suspect drop the phone, and he was taken into custody.
“I Will Pull It”
At 1:45 this morning at 24th and Folsom, two male suspects in their 20s, driving a green Nissan Cube, held up a 24-year-old woman at gunpoint.
One of the suspects pistol-whipped the victim on the forehead as she struggled with the second suspect for her purse.
“I will pull it,” said the first suspect as he held the gun to her head.
The victim gave up her purse, including a cell phone, wallet, iPod, some cash and her housekeys. The suspects fled in the Nissan.
The victim told police she would seek her own medical treatment.
Fists
A 20-year-old suspect approached a 42-year-old man at 4:59 a.m. on Thursday at Mission and South Van Ness, and punched him numerous times before taking off with the victim’s laptop, case and iPhone charger.
The San Francisco District Attorney’s office has a crisis resource page here with a number for crime victims: 553-9044. Operators there will direct victims to a free service to help them cope with trauma and other injuries.
really sick and tired of the mission being the n’hood where our elected officials let such activities occur and I am a woman of latina descent. Tired of worrying where I walk and at what time. Bad behavior is bad behavior regardless of culture or ethnicity.
well said, and thank you for not trying to bring race into something that is clearly about CRIME and lack of response to it.
who is out on mission and svn at 5am?
5 am is when baristas and other service workers usually have to head to work if they have the morning shift. What on earth planet do you live on?
I used to, because i used to work on a photo company and the call times could be 3 4 or 5am… and since the taxi companies are NOT reliable at times I had to walk get my own cab.
Just so you know, not everyone in the Mission works 9-5pm.
Yes, “someone” should “do something” about this. But that “someone” is you … vote the “Progressive” Board of Supervisors out of office.
David Campos and his “progressive” partners on the Board of Supervisors voted to keep these criminals roaming the streets of San Francisco.
Umm. Is someone going to do something about all of this? It seems to be getting worse.
it’s definitely getting much much worse the past few weeks.
