The caller had stated that three subjects were seen entering the facility and was worried that they might be attempting to steal something inside. When the officers arrived, they conducted a search of the entire facility in an attempt to locate the suspects. There was nobody in the building. What they did find in the building was very interesting. They found a huge room dedicated to growing marijuana! There were many well cared for plants in various stages of growth, basking under the artificial glow of very sophisticated lighting equipment. This equipment was hooked up illegally. Not only was an enormous amount of electricity being stolen, it also posed quite a fire hazard due to the make-shift circuits. PG&E had to be called in to shut off the power to the building entirely. In another room, the officers found numerous tubs full of dried marijuana ready for distribution. They quickly were able to ascertain who the individual was that had rented the facility and was ultimately responsible for this "grow house". In assisting the Narcotics Division (who responded to take over the investigation), the officers spent hours at the location collecting and bagging up the plants while surrounded by the unmistakably pungent smell of the marijuana (For anyone who may not know, the odor of marijuana plants tends to permeate everything and the poor officers making for some pretty strange from the other patrons in the taqueria lunch line later on that day). An arrest in this case is imminent. (Case No. 100361017) ******************** Arrests of Interest: On April 21st at 9:30 pm, Bayview Plainclothes Officer Schaffer obtained the cell phone number of a suspected local meth dealer. Acting as a customer, the officer contacted the subject and placed an order for a large amount of methamphetamine. The subject, happy to make such a big sale, agreed to a deliver the goods to his new “client” that same night. Officers Schaffer and Valdez met with the subject at the specified location about an hour later to “complete the deal”. The suspect brought the agreed upon amount of methamphetamine, as promised. The officers just brought their handcuffs. He was arrested and booked at Bayview Station.

San Francisco police are urging the public to be vigilant about their safety in public, particularly when using Muni. · While on Muni vehicles and at Muni bus stops and platforms, citizens are urged to be vigilant about their surroundings and to note any suspicious activity. While on Muni buses, be wary of persons standing especially close or jostling, which may indicate a possible pickpocket or robbery attempt. While waiting for a bus, try to be at a location where there are other persons waiting with you. If you are the only person waiting, go to another stop where there are others waiting. · Be especially careful when using electronic devices on transit vehicles. Opportunist criminals know that a person talking on a cell phone, listening to an i-Pod, or texting, is distracted and thus an easy target. Try to avoid using any electronic device while seated or standing near the rear exit of a transit vehicle, since this door provides a quick exit for grab-and-run suspects. · If it essential for you to use an electronic device on the street, be aware that you may be a target for theft. Opportunist criminals, sometimes operating in groups, look for people using these devices and often will approach a victim from behind, knowing that the person talking on a cell phone, texting, or using an i-Pod is distracted. Some of these criminals are armed with a handgun. Do not be so preoccupied that you become unaware of your surroundings and not notice a person or persons nearby acting suspiciously. · Immediately report any robbery by calling 9-1-1.
