Attempted bike robbery from car
On March 20, at 6:40 p.m. a 28-year-old man saw a 38-year-old man break into his car at Pine and Franklin streets. The suspect attempted to steal the victim's bike from the car but was confronted by the victim. The suspect proceeded to brandish a bike part towards the victim. Police later arrived and arrested the suspect. The victim did not sustain any injuries during the encounter.
Car tire set on fire
A day earlier, at approximately 7:53 a.m., an unknown suspect lit the car of a 45-year-old woman on the 200 block of Buchanan Street (between Waller and Haight) on fire. They then fled the scene. The car's tire was damaged during the blaze, no arrest has been made.
