Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of February 26-March 3, 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 were three robberies during the past week.
On Thursday, 02-29-24, at approximately 7:40 p.m., on the 500 block of King Drive, a victim said an unknown suspect grabbed his car key fob, entered the passenger seat of the suspect vehicle, a dark gray four-door sedan, and fled. The victim described the suspect as a Black male, approximately 24 years old, 6’1” tall, 155 pounds, wearing a black ski mask and black puffy jacket.
On Friday, 03-01-24, at approximately 5:04 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Hollister at the Serramonte Shopping Center on a report of a shoplifter. A store asset protection employee saw a suspect enter the store, select a gray sweater worth approximately $44, conceal the sweater inside a backpack, and exit the store. Outside the store, asset protection employees tried to stop the suspect; however, the suspect resisted and threatened to assault the asset protection employees. Eventually, both asset protection employees were able to detain the suspect until police arrived. The suspect, a 21-year-old San Francisco resident, was arrested and booked into jail for robbery.
On Tuesday, 02-27-24, at approximately 2:05 a.m., near the north entrance doors of Lucky’s on Mission Street, a suspect pointed a gun at an employee who was arriving for work and demanded the employee’s wallet. The victim stated that he reached into his pockets, grabbed only his keys, and banged on the doors of the building in hopes that someone would let him inside. Subsequently, the suspect shot the victim in the foot. The suspect then ran, entered a silver Toyota Avalon, and sped off. The victim described the suspect as a Black male, 25 to 30 years old, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head and a black ski mask. This investigation is continuing.

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
