Pizza prankers

7:48 p.m. — 300 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach

Harassing call. A manager from a pizza chain restaurant called police after his store received multiple prank calls and orders.

Police report that the caller was an employee's 17-year-old ex-girlfriend. The employee, 18, of Ormond Beach, told police that he broke up with his ex in May and blocked her number. For the previous two weeks, the pizza restaurant would receive several prank calls from her and her friends. Orders were also placed online using his name and profanity. 

The day of the police report, the employee told the reporting officer that there had been four prank calls. 

Police spoke with the 17-year-old Ormond Beach girl and her mother, advising her to stop. The girl told police that she was not the one making the prank calls, but that it was her friends' doing. She told police she had her ex's number blocked and that she was the one to break up with him; she said he had been texting and calling her after the breakup. 

No charges were filed.

Leaving a message

10:57 a.m. — 200 block of South Nova Road, Ormond Beach

Vandalism. Police responded to a local pizzeria after an employee reported someone had written words on the restaurant's vinyl wrap.

According to an incident report, the writing on the wrap, located by the employee door, named a former employee — who worked at the restaurant for two days two years ago — by name and instructed him to call. The employee that called police named a suspect, a 55-year-old Ormond Beach woman whom the employee said believes the named employee was kidnapped by someone else who works at the restaurant. 

Police knew of the suspect, having encountered her the week before. The reporting officer noted the woman "may possibly be unstable."

Missing dog

Suspicious incident. A 58-year-old Ormond Beach woman accused a dog groomer of stealing her dog.

Police report that the woman said her dog was stolen while her dog was being groomed at her home. She told police that she had lost her dog nine days prior, but didn't know if she should report it to the police. 

The dog groomer told police that she did not steal the dog and that she had purchased her puppy on Aug. 8, to be an emotional support animal. She provided police with a receipt and allowed police to look at her. 

No charges were filed.
