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 eight robberies during the past two weeks.
On Monday, 11-13-23, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a victim stated he parked and exited his vehicle on Saint Francis Boulevard and Belhaven Avenue.

The suspects then took his wallet containing $300, a CA driver’s license, and an ID from the duffel bag. The suspect also took a $200 gold chain from his neck. The victim described the suspects as 28-30 years old and wearing black clothing.
On Tuesday, 11-14-23, at approximately 7:01 p.m., officers were dispatched to Lucky Supermarket on a report of two suspects who stole $400 to $500 worth of soap. An employee stated that both suspects concealed soap in their backpacks. When the employee asked them to return the merchandise, one of the suspects reached into his pants pocket and told her he had a gun. The second suspect said, “If you touch me, I’ll touch you back.” Both suspects fled the store in opposite directions with the stolen soap. The first suspect was located on the 6900 block of Mission Street. A backpack with approximately $100 worth of soap was found across the street.

The suspect picked up a box of canned soda and struck the security guard in the face. The suspect ran out of the store and got into a white sedan. The second suspect exited Safeway and entered the vehicle. The vehicle fled out of the parking lot.
