The San Francisco Police Department's Park Station released its biweekly incident and arrest roundup late last week, and we've got the lowdown on what happened in the first and second halves of last month.
The last two weeks of September, which is the period covered by the most recent report, saw:
- 22 burglaries, most of them parallel to Haight on Waller, Page and Oak streets
- 3 robberies, all of them in NoPa
- 16 stolen cars
- 19 car break-ins
Arrests emphasized by the Park Station in its crime report also included the arrest of two adults from Oakland and a minor from Daly City in the gunpoint robbery of tourists in Golden Gate Park.
Park Station also highlighted the seizure, in a routine traffic stop, of a "rolling pharmacy" belonging to a probation violator from the East Bay, who was apprehended with a car trunk full of marijuana, cocaine and meth.
The number of arrests in the period covering the month of September was relatively stable: the first two weeks of the month saw 23 arrests (up from only 11 in the last two weeks of August), including three narcotics violations, two unregistered sex offenders and one firearms possession. The second two weeks of the month had a total of 28 arrests. The Park Station also reported 14 sit/lie violations in the second half of September, the same number as in the first half.
According to San Francisco's SFPD incident database, the last three months have seen a total of 1,215 incidents in the area covered by Park District, compared to 2,124 and 4,061 in the areas roughly covered by Mission and Tenderloin district stations, respectively. The Park District also had the lowest number of incidents east of Golden Gate Park and north of Twin Peaks.
