The Bay Area heatwave inadvertently gave at least one local miscreant a hand Saturday, when area residents seeking a break in the heat had their homes robbed.

At least two of the crimes — which, as robberies that occur as the residents are home, are referred to by the San Francisco Police Department as "hot prowls" — went down on Saturday night, on the same block of Sutter Street, between Larkin and Hyde Streets.

In both cases, police say, the suspect climbed into their victim's open window. In the first case, a 25-year-old woman was asleep at 10:20 p.m. when the suspect snuck into her window and stole two laptops.

Around that same time and on that same block, a 44-year-old woman slept inside her home. Suddenly, a 18-year-old suspect reached into her window and grabbed her "laptop bag, laptop, tablet, purse, wallet, foreign currency," police say.

Officers who were already at the scene caught the man, and swiftly recovered the sleeping woman's property. The laptops belonging to the other victim were also "recovered outside of the window on the fire escape," according to the SFPD. Police say that the suspect in the crime was arrested, and was booked into San Francisco County Jail.
