It's time for another look at the notable crimes reported in the Castro since our last roundup. All details are from SFPD reports, unless otherwise noted.

Upper Market hot prowl

Tesla crashes, passengers flee scene

On October 13th at 3:48 p.m., police responded to reports of a vehicle collision at Sanchez and Hancock, where they discovered a vehicle — a Tesla Model X — crashed between two street poles.

While no one was present in the vehicle, a tipster tells us that they heard the incident happen, and witnessed the driver fleeing on foot and a passenger  jumping out of the vehicle and into a white Ford Mustang that also fled the scene. 

The Tesla reportedly did not have licenses plates.
