Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of October 9-15, 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 were three robberies during the past week.
On Thursday, 10-12-23, at approximately 3:37 a.m., at the 7500 block of Mission Street, a suspect forcefully took a victim’s passport and ID.
On Thursday, 10-12-23, at approximately 5:11 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Macy’s on a report of a shoplifter. An asset protection agent said a suspect selected a hat worth approximately $30 and left the store without paying for it. As the asset protection agent tried to detain the suspect, the suspect swung his arm at him; however, he was able to dodge the punch. With the assistance of another asset protection agent, the suspect was detained. The suspect, a 23-year-old Daly City resident, was arrested and cited for robbery.
On Thursday, 10-12-23, at approximately 7:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to Dollar Tree on Mission Street on a report of a robbery. A cashier stated two suspects approached her register. The first suspect placed two drinks on the counter. As the cashier rang up the drinks, the second suspect showed a card stating, something to the effect of, “Don’t close the register; we have a gun.” The cashier backed away from the register, both suspects reached in, took approximately $200, and fled. The cashier described the first suspect as a thin Black male, approximately 20 years old, 5’8” tall, and wearing black clothing.

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
