Robbery/Grand Theft/Assault With Deadly Weapon
On 9/02/20, a robbery occurred near the 100 block of Colma Boulevard where an Apple I-Phone was “snatched” out of the victim’s hands. As the victim ran after the suspect, the suspect jumped into a waiting vehicle, the vehicle fled, nearly striking the victim. Later, as the victim was disconnecting his phone service, he noticed a “wallet app” transfer of $2000.00 dollars from his device account, further investigation revealed the suspects name in the money transfer. On 9/3/20, while in San Francisco, the victim recognized the suspect vehicle that had fled with his I-Phone. The vehicle was stopped by SFPD, the victim approached and informed the SFPD Officers of the robbery that took place in Colma. SFPD Officers had just detained the occupants of the vehicle on another felony charge out of SF. Both suspects were identified by the victim and the victim’s I-Phone was still in the possession of the suspects. The suspects were arrested by SFPD on unrelated crimes that were committed in SF as well as possession of two stolen handguns. The case was forwarded to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office for the issuance of an arrest warrant for the suspects in our case.
