SHERIFF’S OFFICE TRYING TO ID BURGLAR IN SURVEILLANCE PHOTO 

Volusia County Sheriff’s investigators are seeking the public’s help in identifying a burglar who broke into an ice cream shop in Deltona nearly two weeks ago. The thief, a white man who appears to be in his late teens or early 20s, burglarized the Deltona Ice Cream Company on Elkcam Boulevard at around 11 p.m. on Feb. 20. The suspect broke a window to get into the business after-hours, but left empty-handed after he was unable to get into a locked cash box. 

While the suspect got away, his crime didn’t go undetected. His movements inside the business were captured on a surveillance system. The burglar appeared to have a small scar on his right cheek. He was wearing black basketball-type shorts with a light-colored strip on the side, a heavy, dark-colored jacket, dark tennis shoes and a camouflage-style hood. 

Anyone who recognizes the burglar is asked to call Sheriff’s investigator R.J. Rahn at (386) 860-7030 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida, toll-free, at (888) 277-TIPS. Callers to Crime Stoppers will remain anonymous and can qualify for a reward of up to $1,000.
