Robberies
 
There were two robberies during the past week.
 
On Monday, 09-25-23, at approximately 4:18 p.m., officers were dispatched to Macy’s. A loss prevention detective stated that she saw two subjects grab items from shelves and exit the store without paying. After the suspects left the store, the loss prevention detective said she identified herself as asset protection from Macy’s and attempted to tell the suspects to go to the loss prevention office. The suspects continued to walk away. The loss prevention detective attempted to detain the first suspect; however, the loss prevention detective fell to the ground. Once she was on the ground, the first suspect began to strike her in the face. Other loss prevention staff arrived and assisted in detaining the first suspect. Meanwhile, another loss prevention detective attempted to detain a second suspect and got elbowed twice in the right shoulder. The first suspect stole approximately $860 worth of fragrance, and the second suspect stole approximately $510 worth of fragrance. Once the suspects were detained, it was discovered they also had approximately $2,300 worth of stolen Victoria’s Secret merchandise in their bags. There was a third suspect who stole merchandise from Victoria’s Secret and left the store. The first suspect, a 22-year-old San Lorenzo resident, was arrested and booked into jail for robbery, organized retail theft, grand theft, and conspiracy to commit a crime. The second suspect, a 20-year-old San Lorenzo resident, was also arrested and booked into jail for the same charges.
 
On Saturday, 09-30-23, at approximately 9:39 a.m., an officer was dispatched to Dollar Tree on Mission Street on a report of an armed robbery. The store manager stated that her cashier notified her a suspect was trying to purchase six $500 VISA gift cards. The store manager told the suspect she could only sell him one gift card. The manager attempted to activate the gift card, but it didn’t work; therefore, the suspect went to retrieve another gift card. After activating the $500 gift card, the suspect demanded a receipt and for the manager to open the register. The suspect then pulled a black handgun from his pocket and pointed it at the manager and the cashier. Both the manager and the cashier were scared. The manager completed the transaction, opened the register, and provided the suspect with the receipt. The suspect did not make any threats or attempt to take any money from the register; he only took the gift card and receipt and then left the store. The manager described the suspect as a skinny Hispanic male, approximately 20 years old, 5’6” tall, and wearing black gloves, a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a black ski mask, gray sweatpants, and black shoes. The gift card was deactivated. This investigation is continuing.

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.
