Robberies
 
There were two robberies during the past week.
 
On Wednesday, 07-19-23, at approximately 5:35 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Target at the Serramonte Shopping Center on a report of a suspect attempting to shoplift and brandishing a knife. An asset protection specialist stated that one male suspect and one female suspect were pushing a shopping cart full of merchandise. The asset protection specialist saw the suspects select a large cooler jug and a large plushy stuffed animal and place them in the shopping cart. Both suspects proceeded to walk towards the front of the store with the male pushing the shopping cart with merchandise valued at approximately $340. Both suspects passed the first “tower,” Target’s entrance and exit. The asset protection agent, along with a security guard, approached the suspects at the vestibule. The asset protection specialist stated that the male suspect charged at him with the shopping cart at full speed, and the female suspect pushed the security guard. All four of them exited the store. The asset protection specialist confirmed the merchandise was still inside the shopping cart at the vestibule. The security guard stated that when they were all outside the vestibule, the male suspect presented a knife, made eye contact with him, and stated, “I’ll f*cking kill you!” Both suspects fled in a white Toyota Camry.

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
