Crime Alert Bulletin Covering the Week of April 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 during the past week.
On Tuesday, 04-02-24, at approximately 9:43 p.m., an officer was dispatched to the unit block of Alp Avenue on a report of a carjacking. The victim stated that she had entered her vehicle, a 2008 Honda Civic, when an unknown suspect opened the door and said to her in Spanish, “What do you have on you?” The victim replied, “I don’t have anything.” The suspect then proceeded to grab a $600 necklace from her neck and punched the victim in the face four times. The suspect produced a knife and ordered the victim to exit the vehicle. Fearing for her safety, the victim complied. The suspect then entered the victim’s vehicle and drove off toward Mission Street. The victim described the suspect as a male adult, approximately 5’7” to 5’8” tall, 160 pounds, with a high-pitched voice. On 04-03-24, the vehicle was recovered by the Vallejo Police Department. 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
