Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of June 5-11, 2023
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.
Robberies
There was one robbery during the past week.
On Friday, 06-09-23, at approximately 7:17 p.m., officers were dispatched to Nordstrom Rack on a report of a subject who took shoes. A loss prevention agent stated that the suspect selected a pair of white shoes worth approximately $55 and put it on. The subject walked around the store and went to pay for a bottle of cologne but made no attempt to purchase the shoes he was wearing. After the suspect exited the store with unpaid merchandise, the loss prevention agent said that she needed to speak with the suspect about the unpaid merchandise that he was in possession of. The suspect handed the loss prevention agent a bag of unpaid merchandise but refused to enter the store with the loss prevention agent. The suspect pushed the loss prevention agent and fled on foot. Officers found the suspect hiding behind bushes, and a bag of methamphetamine was located around where the suspect was hiding. The suspect, a 34-year-old Burlingame resident, was arrested and booked into jail for robbery, possession of a controlled substance, and an outstanding warrant.
