Robberies
 
There was one robbery and one attempted robbery during the past two weeks.
 
On Wednesday, 11-16-22, at approximately 12:04 p.m., a victim was walking toward his vehicle located in the parking garage of the Serramonte Shopping Center when a suspect, who just parked his vehicle next to the victim’s, brandished a gun and said, “Be quiet, don’t tell anyone, give me all your stuff.” The victim replied, “I don’t have anything.” The victim was afraid that the suspect would shoot him and backed up toward the trunk of his vehicle. At the same time, people were walking into the parking structure, which caused the suspect to drive away without taking anything from the victim. This investigation is continuing.
 
On Wednesday, 11-16-22, at approximately 7:07 p.m., Officer Arguelles was dispatched to Dollar Tree on Geneva Avenue on a report of a strong-arm robbery. An employee stated that two suspects were concealing home goods and dog-related items valued at approximately $75 into a bag. The first suspect was described as a Black female in her mid-20s, approximately 5’3” tall, and wearing all black clothing. The second suspect was described as a Black female in her mid-20s, carrying a black dog, and wearing a pink beanie, jean jacket, and blue jeans. The employee asked the two suspects at the front door to return the merchandise. The employee reached for the bag with the concealed merchandise, and then there was a struggle over the bag. The first suspect pulled the bag away, causing the employee to get two small abrasions on his knuckles during the scuffle. The first suspect also slapped the back of the employee’s head. Both suspects left in a dark-colored Lexus.

The suspect selected one cell phone valued at $270 and walked out of the store. A Broadmoor police officer located the suspect inside Taco Bell. The manager identified the suspect as the person who took the cell phone. The suspect, a 43-year-old San Francisco transient, was arrested and booked into jail for commercial burglary.

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
