An employee stated that the suspect entered the store and attempted to open the tempered glass ring display case with a key but was unsuccessful. The suspect then demanded that the employees give him the key. The suspect eventually grabbed a wooden mallet, smashed the glass display case, took the jewelry inside, concealed it in his pockets, and fled.

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
