On Monday at 11:47 a.m., a 60-year-old man was on Mission Street between 16th and 17th when he was approached by two men in their 30s and 40s.

On McCoppin Street between Otis and Valencia, a 30-year-old man got out of his car at 10:01 p.m. on Monday night and was rushed by three men of unknown age, who pummeled him and stole his cell phone. All of the suspects fled on foot, and the man was transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
On Tuesday at 2:41 a.m. a 64-year-old taxi driver picked up a man and a woman and drove them to 12th and Howard, where the woman yanked the driver’s collar while the man demanded the driver’s property. The male suspect implied he had a gun and told the driver he didn’t want to shoot him, so the driver gave the suspects his cell phone and money. Both fled the scene on foot.
