Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies have arrested three suspects and are searching for a fourth in connection with a Dec. 12 armed home invasion robbery in Palm Coast's P-Section.
The FCSO received a 911 call from a home on Prospect Lane shortly before midnight. It was an open line, and the dispatcher could hear an argument but was not able to speak with the caller.
Units responded to the location and saw a silver Chevy speeding away. It crashed at Palm Coast Parkway and Colbert Lane, and multiple males ran away from the crash.
Deputies set up a perimeter, and a K9 Unit responded to search for the subjects.
Deputies found one firearm in the car and two more firearms during the search for the subjects.
They found and arrested three suspects at 3:40 a.m. on Dec.13. One suspect sustained a dog bite to his left hand from a Sheriff’s K-9. Deputies are still searching for the fourth suspect. If anyone can identify him, please call FCSO at 386-313-4911 and reference Case Number 2020-115128.
The residents of the home told deputies that the robbers fired shots inside the home.
Many of the occupants of the home sustained minor injuries during the encounter, and the robbers stole a large amount of cash.
Deputies found a bullet hole in the ceiling just inside the front door and saw signs of a struggle, with furniture overturned and in disarray.
“At this time, we do not believe this was a random attack and likely involves other criminal activity, like most home invasions do,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Our patrol deputies did a great job quickly apprehending three of the suspects. The investigation is ongoing to determine the motive for the crime, and investigators are also working to identify the fourth suspect. If anyone has any information on this case, please call us or Crimestoppers.”
Carlos Dupree, 34, was arrested and charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, False Imprisonment, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Home Invasion Robbery, Wearing a Mask While Committing a Felony, Resisting Arrest, and Violation of Probation. He is being held with no bond allowed.
A 16-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested and charged with False Imprisonment, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Home Invasion Robbery, Wearing a Mask While Committing a Felony and Resisting Arrest.
All three subjects were booked at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. The two juveniles were turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
