Last Saturday, just before 1 pm, local police responded to a call at a business on Junipero Serra Boulevard after a man, later identified as 30-year-old Devin Spikener, reportedly committed theft not once but twice within a 30-minute window. According to the Colma Police Department's Facebook post, the store's loss prevention officer stopped and identified the suspect.
Spikener's alleged double-dip started at 12:31 pm when he was accused of swiping goods valued at approximately $231.34. After a brief escape from the loss prevention officers, he audaciously returned at 12:52 pm to take an additional $167.52 worth of merchandise. The total tally of the items taken from the business amounted to roughly $398.96. The store had previously issued a trespass notification to Spikener in April, banning him from the premises for a year, a decree that seemed to fall on deaf ears.
As officers conducted a records check, they found that Spikener had multiple warrants out for his arrest: a $25,000 felony warrant and three $500 misdemeanor warrants stemming from a neighboring agency. The nature of these warrants was not disclosed in the police report.
The Colma police wasted no time booking Spikener into the San Mateo County Jail on petty theft, trespassing, and outstanding warrants.
