Crime Bulletin Covering the Week of May 12–18, 2025
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 Monday, 05-12-25, at approximately 6:46 p.m., officers were dispatched to Macy’s at the Serramonte Center on a report of a robbery. A loss prevention employee stated that three suspects had entered the store. The first suspect concealed a perfume gift set and exited without paying. Outside the store, when loss prevention employees attempted to detain the first suspect, the two other suspects arrived. As soon as the two suspects arrived, the first suspect verbally threatened the loss prevention employees, and the two additional suspects began reaching into the first suspect’s pants as if they were going to retrieve a weapon. Fearing for their safety and lives, the loss prevention employees disengaged and called the police. The suspects fled in a black vehicle. Through investigation, the suspects were identified. One of the suspects, a 19-year-old San Francisco resident, was arrested and booked into jail for robbery. This case will be sent to the District Attorney’s Office to request a complaint against the other two suspects for robbery.
On Friday, 05-16-25, at approximately 12:26 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the unit block of Coronado Avenue on a report of a dispute. A tow truck driver stated that while he was attempting to tow a vehicle, the suspect arrived and began yelling at him. The suspect then entered the vehicle, drove it off the tow truck hook, onto the curb, and struck the side of the apartment complex. The suspect then exited the vehicle and attempted to enter the tow truck. When the tow truck driver tried to stop him, the suspect pushed the tow truck driver and took his iPhone. The suspect then got back into the vehicle and fled eastbound toward Park Plaza Drive. This investigation is ongoing.
On Friday, 05-16-25, at approximately 7:13 p.m., officers were dispatched to Macy’s at the Serramonte Center on a report of a robbery. An asset protection detective stated that he observed the suspect and two other subjects enter the store. The suspect selected a fragrance set and concealed it in a bag. The suspect then selected another fragrance set and exited the store without paying. Outside the store, the asset protection detective identified himself and attempted to detain the suspect. The suspect threw a fragrance set, striking the asset protection detective in the face. The suspect then punched the asset protection detective. The asset protection detective and other loss prevention employees were able to detain the suspect. This case will be sent to the District Attorney’s Office for a complaint to be filed against the suspect for robbery.

San Mateo County Alert System (SMC)
Have you signed up to receive these alerts? This alert is a free digital communication system used by emergency management agencies and first responders to send emergency alerts, notifications, and updates to portable digital devices. In an emergency situation, an alert will be sent by San Mateo County authorized personnel, and you will receive messages on your cell phone or mobile device. Most carriers activate the service automatically. To receive emergency alerts, sign up by visiting www.smcalert.info.
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
