San Mateo police warn of self-checkout scam targeting elderly shoppers

Authorities in San Mateo County are warning shoppers on the Peninsula about a scam targeting seniors involving self-checkout at retail stores. On Wednesday, the San Mateo Police Department issued an advisory to residents about the scam, which typically involves suspects working in pairs. The scam has reportedly taken place at stores such as Safeway and Target. During the scam, one of the suspects would begin striking up a conversation with the victim. After building rapport, the suspect would then ask the victim to pay for an item such as essential food, medicine or childcare products. "The first suspect will approach that community member, ask them out of the kindness of their hearts to pay for something like food or baby formula. And while the victim is distracted, another suspect will scan multiple other items, sometimes totaling over $1,000," Officer Andrew Peak said in a video posted by police. Peak also warned the community of a scam involving "jewelry swaps" targeting women. In the second scam, suspects approach victims asking to "bless" them in a religious fashion. During the alleged blessing, police said the suspects would make physical contact with the victim and steal the victim's jewelry without their knowledge. The suspects often use rented vehicles to avoid immediate detection from license plate readers. Anyone who may have been a victim of the scams or who may know family or friends who are victims are being asked to contact San Mateo police.

A 61-year-old Homestead teacher is facing child abuse charges after allegedly throwing a shoe that struck a student in the face, according to police. Authorities said it happened at the Charter School at Waterstone back on Feb. 28, at around 9 a.m., where Sandra Marta Colombo allegedly threw a sandal to get a student's attention but struck another juvenile, the report states. A witness told police she saw Colombo throw the shoe "hard" with one hand over her head, hitting the victim in the ear. Another witness confirmed the shoe was thrown overhand and struck the victim in the face, though the victim did not cry, per the report. The victim told police that the shoe hit her on the forehead, according to the report. She stated there were no marks or bruises from the incident and that Colombo apologized and rubbed her forehead afterward. Colombo was booked into jail Wednesday.

AI-generated image of 1996 Sonoma County murder suspect released by Sheriff's Office

Authorities seeking the suspect in a 1996 murder in Sonoma County are using an image of his present-day appearance generated by artificial intelligence to help generate leads in finding him. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said in a social media post on Wednesday that 61-year-old Antonio Brava Marquez is wanted for the murder of Alfonso Reyes Martinez on May 20, 1996. Martinez was shot and buried in a shallow grave near the Alexander Valley Bridge, north of Healdsburg. The Sheriff's Office said one man was convicted as an accessory, but Brava Marquez, the suspected killer, remains at large. Brava Marquez is a 61-year-old Hispanic male, 5 feet 3 inches, with a medium build, and brown eyes. At the time of the murder, he had short-to-shoulder-length black hair and a light mustache. The Sheriff's Office released an age progression image of Brava Marquez made by AI to show what his current appearance might look like. Brava Marquez worked as a vineyard laborer at the time of the murder and lived in an encampment near the intersection of Highway 128 and Alexander Valley Road, the Sheriff's Office said. He was also known to drive a white or tan 1973 Ford Maverick with a brown vinyl top. The Sheriff's Office said he was known by aliases such as Antonio Marquez Bravo or Antonio Brava, and likely fled to Fresno or Mexico following the murder. Anyone with information about Brava Marquez's whereabouts was asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at (707) 565-2727 or submit an anonymous tip online at
