Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of March 18-24, 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 during the past week.
On Saturday, 03-23-24, at approximately 3:15 a.m., an officer was flagged down at the bus stop located on Mission Street and John Daly Boulevard. The victim reported that two suspects, one wearing a red jacket and the other wearing a gray jacket, had just attempted to rob him. As the officer spoke with the victim, the officer noticed a suspect wearing a face mask and a red puffy jacket walking west on Los Olivos Avenue directly behind the bus stop. As the officer approached, the officer noticed the suspect underneath a vehicle. The suspect was instructed to get out from underneath the vehicle. Meanwhile, a second person approached and stated that the suspect was his friend. Upon inspection under the vehicle, the officer found a replica handgun with an orange tip, a black pocketknife, and a pair of black gloves. Another officer, conducting a check of the area, had located a third person and the suspect wearing the gray jacket. The victim identified these suspects as the individuals who had attempted to rob him. The suspect wearing the red jacket, an 18-year-old San Francisco resident, was arrested and booked into jail for attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The suspect wearing the gray jacket, a 15-year-old Oakland resident, was arrested and booked into the Youth Services Center for attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime.

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
