Making an entrance
10:33 p.m. First block of Kane Place. Attempted burglary.
A Palm Coast man was sleeping when he was awakened by a loud bang at the front door. Then his house alarm went off, and the man heard a car door slam and a vehicle drive away.
The man called the Sheriff’s Office, and deputies took pictures of the damaged door frame. One noted in a report that it “appeared to be either kicked or shouldered in.”
The man had surveillance cameras on his house, but wasn’t able to immediately access the footage. Deputies gave him a case card and told him to contact them if he was able to later.

Egged on
11:44 a.m. 100 block of Rolling Sands Drive. Criminal Mischief.
A 40-year-old woman walked outside Tuesday morning to find her car, a 2006 BMW, covered in eggs and paint.
She called the Sheriff’s Office. A deputy wrote in a case report that “the vehicle had what appeared to be paint thrown on entire front end of the vehicle” and “what appeared to be egg shells smashed all over the car from front to back,” as well as a long scratch down the side.
The driveway was also covered in eggshells. The deputy asked the woman is she knew of anyone who was upset with her and might have damaged the car, and she said she didn’t. Deputies photographed the damage and uploaded the images to a crime database.

Smashed
2:16 a.m., First block of Kankakee Trail. Burglary.
Deputies drove out to a K-section house after a motion sensor was tripped and the burglar alarm went off.
They checked the outside of the home, and found that someone had smashed out a sliding door leading to the master bedroom.
More deputies arrived, and found that the home was empty and the homeowner out of town.
One deputy noticed that a hutch in the bedroom was pen, and “items such as jewelry, jewelry boxes, medication bottles, watches, etc., had been scattered onto the bed.”
A dresser had also been opened, but the other rooms in the house looked undisturbed.
A neighbor gave deputies the homeowners contact information, and deputies called him. The man was out of state, and sent one of his friends to the scene to secure the house and talk with deputies.
Deputies used police dogs and Air One to search the area, but didn’t find the burglar.
They weren’t able lift fingerprints from the dresser or hutch because of their texture, but they did collect touch DNA.
