Full Notification

When I mention “the unit block” of a street, this means the incident occurred at an address anywhere between 1 and 99 of the street.


Notable Cases

On Monday, 12-28-20 at 6:13 a.m., Officer Hepler was dispatched to the 1000 block of Brunswick Street on a report of a vehicle that was stolen from a driveway. The victim was preparing to go to work and left his 2017 Kia Sportage running to warm it up in his driveway. When he came outside, the victim saw the vehicle, with the back hatch open, traveling down the street. Officer Jackson-Berrios found the vehicle as it was traveling on Hillside Boulevard at Muirwood Drive. The driver collided with three vehicles and a residence, and she ran away from the officer. The suspect, a 17-year old Daly City resident, was booked into the Youth Services Center after she was medically cleared.

Scams/Other

PG&E Scam

I have mentioned this scam in the past, and it is once again occurring. On 12-28-20, a 69-year old Daly City resident received a phone call from a male who said his PG&E bill was overdue, and they would cut off his power if he did not pay for his bill. The victim said after their initial conversation, he was transferred to a female who said she was the manager. The victim believed the subjects were from PG&E, and he offered to go pay at the Burlingame location. The subjects said they needed to be immediately paid and told them to purchase a $400 Money Pak card. The victim purchased the card and contacted the subjects. The victim said another subject called later and said the female didn’t have the authority to “compromise the amount he owed” and advised he owed $5,000. The victim became suspicious and called PG&E who advised him he did not have an overdue bill.
