Coles and several other Ingleside officers responded to assist

chasing a burglary suspect. They spoke with the victim, who

The victim knew his neighbors were not at home and that no one
should have been
in the apartment. He responded downstairs and observed an
unknown male on the
side of the home. He asked the man why he was there and the
man said he was
visiting. The suspect then began running down Church Street
and the resident
began chasing him as he called the police on his cell phone.
He observed the
suspect board a vehicle and drive off down Duncan Street.
Police searched the
area but did not locate the suspects or the vehicle. Officer
Coles returned to
the address where the suspect may have entered and noticed
several pillowcases
stuffed with items, and a front door that was pried open. She
spoke with the
resident of the home via telephone, who stated that some items
which seemed to
have been left behind did not belong to them. SFPD’s Crime
Scene Investigations
Unit was contacted to process the scene. A record check of the
