A cashier stated the suspect came in, selected a candy, and placed it on the counter. The suspect then took a handgun out from his waistband. The suspect said to the cashier, “Money, open, open, open.” The suspect went around the counter, pointed the gun at the cashier’s stomach, and said, “If you don’t open, I’ll shoot.” The cashier was in fear and opened the cash register. The suspect grabbed approximately $700 and left, walking east on Bismark Street.

A loss prevention officer stated that two suspects came into the store and went to the Christian Dior display.

The loss prevention officer was able to recover some lipsticks after turning over the suspect’s bag and emptying its contents onto the floor. The suspect was able to pick up some lipsticks and place them back into her bag. The other suspect also took lipsticks and placed them in her pocket.

The driver replied, “Let me get a dollar and I’ll move.” The driver opened his vehicle’s door and appeared like he was going to step out. The victim felt nervous and backed away. As the victim walked away, the driver stated, “Where do you think you’re going, I got this .38”, and began to reach toward his lap area. The victim was nervous that the driver had a gun and ran into the lobby. The suspect drove off eastbound on Valley Street.

Nextdoor.com
 
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 a neighborhood if they don’t live there. Please note: The City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try!  www.nextdoor.com
