San Francisco Police say while a 32-year-old man was sleeping in his Parkmerced apartment Friday afternoon a pair of thugs broke in, beat him up and stole several things.

Officials say it happened around 3 p.m. and several expensive things were stolen from the victim.

Residents say these types of crimes are happening more and more.

“The victim had a laptop, he had his phone stolen including some other personal property like his wallet and some cash,” Officer Robert Rueca with the SFPD said.

Officer Rueca says shortly after the robbery and home invasion officers responded to the home on Chumasero Drive.

They found the victim had been badly beaten and was taken to the hospital.

“The victim did have injuries and trauma that he was being treated for it was obvious that he was assaulted,” Officer Rueca said.

Parkmerced neighbors, like Akram Abdulrahman, say these crimes are happening more often.

“Constantly we’ve seen a bunch of people with questionable behavior around this area unfortunately,” Abdulrahman said.

Abdulrahman says just hours after this robbery, his apartment was also broken into.

The man was quickly spotted and ran off without stealing anything.

“It was a very, very, very scary moment that just happened a couple of days ago,”Abdulrahman said. “Luckily nothing happened, nothing was stolen no one got injured or harmed.”

Other residents say these crimes and the high rent in the area is forcing them out.

Abby Kennedy and her husband say they’re moving to Washington state.

“I have concerns about the civility and safety of living in Parkmerced and in San Francisco in general anymore and we feel like our San Francisco dollars will go farther in other places and at the same time we’ll be safer,” Kennedy said.

Police are still looking for the suspects wanted in this crime.

They do not have descriptions of the men.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the police.
