According to a recent bulletin from the Daly City Police Department, the week of February 5 through 11 saw a spree of vehicle break-ins and commercial burglaries that have left local residents on edge and police searching for suspects.
The fitness buffs at Planet Fitness on Junipero Serra Boulevard suffered an unexpected loss when a thief broke into a locker, snatching items including a gym bag, a meager $20, and credit cards – with one card being swiped at a gas station shortly after the theft. Over at Benjamin Moore on Mission Street, a tool heist to the tune of $2,600 by a suspect clad in a gray hoodie and mask has added to the week of illicit gains. With descriptions and camera footage offering scant details, the perpetrators remain at large.
But that's not where the tale of missing possessions ends. The vehicle owners of Daly City have also been dealt a blow, with five reported burglaries resulting in stolen construction tools, personal effects, and even a Gucci wallet full of $2,500 and various currencies. Whether by shattered sunroofs or unknown means, each vehicle served as a treasure trove for the delinquent on the go.
Additionally, the week brought car theft woes, with five vehicles reported stolen. Not all news in the stolen vehicle department was bleak, as two of the absconded automobiles – a Kia Rio and a Vespa Primavera – were later recovered by the San Bruno PD and DCPD, respectively. For other victims, the hope of a reunion with their ride hangs in the balance.
The Daly City Police Department's report wasn't solely about thefts and break-ins. The bulletin also outlined 136 assorted cases taken on by the department, 18 domestic disturbances, 11 vandalism complaints, and a sprinkling of other incidents, including public intoxication and narcotics-related offenses.
