2:11 p.m. — First block of Osceola Avenue
Burglary. Police responded to Osceola Elementary after a cafeteria employee discovered Drumstick ice cream cones thrown outside of the building.
Police reported that aside from the sticky evidence left behind, there was no indication of a forced entry. The campus advisor only called police after they realized a few toys were missing from the storage closet, including two sky bouncers and some Four Square orange balls.
A school employee in both the cafeteria and the Extended Day program said she remembered locking up her office and the building when she left school the previous Friday. When employees arrived on the premises early Monday morning, the found the rear door to the cafeteria slightly ajar.
Because the school cleaned up the ice cream damage and multiple people entered the areas where evidence could’ve been obtained, police said the crime scene was unable to be thoroughly processed.
The campus advisor said some video footage shows some “teenage or high school youth” may have been involved.
8:48 p.m. — First block of Granada Boulevard
Arrest. Police arrested a man and a woman after stealing an Audi from valet at Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar.
The valet attendant that evening told police he had seen a man and a woman, who was on a bicycle, pass through the parking lot. He saw the man roaming the lot while talking on his cell phone. When asked if he needed anything, the man told the valet attendant he was “just talking to his girl.”
The attendant parked the 2013 Audi a8, valued at $300,000 or more, and left to park another vehicle. The attendant told police in that short span of time, the pair took off with the car and fled the scene.
Just a few minutes later, police spotted the man and woman driving southbound on S. Nova Road, where they tried to conduct a felony stop. The man refused to pull over, instead continued approaching the area around LPGA Boulevard, where police were able to use a stop stick to deflate the car’s tires.
The man and woman were seen jumping into the bushes near the 1000 block of Kilgore Street, and consequently found. The woman had to be transported to Halifax Hospital for a dog bite received after police utilized a K-9 to locate them.
Once in police custody, the man told police “All you got on me was that I was in the parking lot. I wasn’t even wearing a white shirt. I didn’t even have a shirt on. Come on let’s go, you should be happy you caught me.”
The man was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail on a charge of grand theft.
