Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of January 1-7, 2024
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 and one attempted robbery during the past week.
On Sunday, 01-07-24, at approximately 10:58 a.m., officers were dispatched to the unit block of Acton Street on a report of a fight. The victim said he heard the suspects, who are his tenants, fighting and approached them. The victim asked the suspects to stop fighting, or he would call the police. As the victim tried to call 911, one of the suspects punched his hand, causing the cell phone to fall. Both suspects began to attack the victim. A neighbor assisted the victim and called 911. One of the suspects took the victim’s cell phone, valued at $800, which was later located in the suspect’s pocket. One of the suspects, a 30-year-old Daly City resident, was arrested and booked into jail for battery. The other suspect, a 25-year-old Daly City resident, was arrested and booked into jail for robbery, battery, and destroying a wireless communication device.

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
