Suspect tracked down
4:52 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Shoplifting. The employee said she watched the three suspects come into the store and appear to shop. She watched them for two hours, and then they walked up to the self-checkout.
They had several clothing items and DVDs. They appeared to be ringing up the items properly, but she couldn’t see clearly.
When they were done, she cross-referenced their receipt to the number of items in the cart, and found that they only rang up half of the items.
The employee followed them out to the parking lot where they got into a car and drove away.
The police officer used their tag number to determine the owner of the car. The officer was able to pull up the driver’s license of the owner, and found that it looked like the person that appeared on the store security tape.
A deputy located the owner of the car at the registered address. A photo lineup is planned.

A neighbor came to her house and told her that another neighbor, the suspect, took her purse and used the debit cards to make purchases at a store in Daytona Beach.
