Full Notification

Notable Cases

On Tuesday, 01-26-21 at 1:12 a.m., Officer Graner cited a 24-year old Daly City resident for driving under the influence after he saw him driving erratically and without the vehicle’s headlights illuminated. This occurred near the intersection of Skyline Boulevard and John Daly Boulevard.

On Thursday, 01-28-21 at approximately 1:21 p.m., numerous officers were dispatched to a residence on the 500 block of Templeton Avenue on a report of an in-progress residential burglary. The dispatcher advised that two suspects had firearms in their possession. The reporting party/victim said she had returned home from running errands as saw an unknown vehicle parked in his driveway. The 66-year old victim walked up the stairway with her two grandchildren and son-in-law behind her and saw the gate and front door were open. When she got to the top of the staircase, the victim said an unknown male inside the house pointed a gun at her from the door and told them all to come inside the house. The victim said the suspect waved his gun toward the inside of the house, gesturing her to enter the house. The victim complied, and a second male suspect ordered the 47-year old son-in-law into living room and then went outside to retrieve the 2 and 5-year old grandchildren. That suspect told everyone to sit on the sofa, and the suspect stole jewelry from the son-in-law. The suspects asked the first victim if she had any money on her, and she said no. The second suspect took the son-in-law to the back bedroom, pointed a gun to his head and took his money. The victims could only identify the suspects as being black males who left in a dark vehicle. This investigation is continuing.

On Tuesday, 01-26-21 at approximately 2:41 p.m., a 19-year old cashier at the Boston Market said a subject who she thought was a customer presented to her what she thought was a firearm hidden under a black cloth. The subject told the cashier to give him all of the money and to not say anything. The victim said she didn’t want to give the suspect the money but gave him all of the money in the register when the suspect kept pointing the “firearm” at her. The victim said the suspect slowly walked out of the store and began running towards the In N Out restaurant. The victim could not identify the suspect’s race, but she said he had “brownish” skin, was between 30-40 years old, possibly bald, heavy set, and wore a beanie, a dark colored face mask, a tan over-sized jacket and dark colored jeans.
