Crime Alert Bulletin for the Week of August 9-15, 2021
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, 08-09-21 at 11:29 a.m., Officer Mulitaoupele was dispatched to take a report about a robbery that occurred 10 hours prior in front of the Carlito’s Club on Mission Street. Officer Andrade assisted in translation, as the victim preferred to speak Spanish. The 56-year old Daly City resident said he had beers at the bar and started to walk home. The victim said two people who were in the bar earlier started walking towards him as he passed the parking lot. The victim said one of the subjects held a machete in his hand and demanded his money. The victim said the other subject started hitting him with a closed fist three times. The victim said the subject with the machete punched him and took $1,200 in cash from his front left pocket. The victim said he pushed the machete away from him and cut his hand. The victim said he walked home and didn’t see where the subjects went. With the assistance of security video from the bar, officers were able to identify the two suspects. The second suspect, a 51-year old Daly City resident, was arrested on 08-11-21 for robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and battery causing serious bodily injury. The first suspect, a 28-year old Daly City resident, was arrested on 08-14-21 for robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and assault with a deadly weapon.
On Monday, 08-09-21 at approximately 11:58 a.m., officers were dispatched to a residence on the 100 block of Acton Street on a report of a just-occurred assault and battery. The 52-year old victim said his brother hit him with a “Maglite” flashlight. The victim said initially his 55-year old brother was arguing with their 83-year old mother. The victim said his brother then hit his arm with the flashlight. The victim’s brother fled but returned a short time later and was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. The victim secured an emergency protective order against his brother.
On Monday, 08-09-21 at approximately 11:30 p.m., Officer Dhaliwal and Officer Grogan were dispatched to a residence on the unit block of Longview Drive on a report of a just-occurred armed robbery. The 55-year old victim said he parked his vehicle in the driveway, and while walking to the front door of his residence, three black male adults wearing dark clothing approached him while two other suspects stayed on the street. The victim said the three suspects each pointed black pistols at him. One suspect took his keys, wallet, and cellphone. The three suspects then ran towards two vehicles which were parked on Longview Drive just west of Skyline Drive and fled southbound on Skyline Drive. This investigation is continuing.
On Tuesday, 08-10-21 at approximately 7:53 a.m., a 29-year old San Bruno resident was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol after he was involved in a collision on the 100 block of Valley Street.
On Thursday, 08-12-21 at approximately 11:46 a.m., a CVS (Gellert Boulevard) manager thwarted a scam from happening to an elderly victim. The 76-year old victim was trying to purchase gift cards, and the purchase required the manager’s approval. The manager questioned the purchases, and he realized the victim was about to be scammed. The victim said she received a call from the Social Security Administration saying she owed money. Thank goodness for the alert manager!
On Thursday, 08-12-21 at approximately 6:30 p.m., two Daly City female residents in their 20’s were walking their dog near the intersection of Como Avenue and Hillside Boulevard when an unknown suspect in a red Toyota sedan got their attention, exposed his genitals, and began masturbating. The females yelled at the suspect, and the suspect drove away from the area. This investigation is continuing.
On Friday, 08-13-21 at 10:30 p.m., Officer Leyson and Officer Premenko were dispatched to the Safeway store on a report of an Asian male who had been attempting to touch multiple customers. The officers arrived to find a store employee walking backwards away from a subject who had his arm up and was not responding to the officers’ commands to stop. The officers escorted the male outside the store, and the male tried to touch the officers and rambled on about the devil. The subject, a 54-year old Daly City resident, admitted to smoking marijuana and methamphetamine. He displayed signs of being under the influence of a controlled substance and was subsequently arrested.
On Saturday, 08-14-21 at approximately 11:20 p.m., Officer Tualaulelei was on patrol waiting at a red light at the intersection of John Daly Boulevard and Junipero Serra Boulevard when he saw a subject driving black Toyota Tacoma enter the intersection and proceed to do “donuts” in the intersection.

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up. I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t live there.
