THREE ARRESTS MADE IN DAYTIME
BURGLARIES
The
Port Orange Police Department has been investigating a series
of eight daytime residential burglaries throughout various
locations within the City. The residential burglaries occurred
in the Cross Creek Subdivision, Seminole Woods Subdivision,
Deep Forest Subdivision, Groves Subdivision, and the Oakland
Park Subdivision.
The
burglaries started on January 6, 2009 and the most recent
incident was on January 30, 2009. The method of operation has
been for the suspect(s) to walk to the rear of the residence,
and utilize items already at the scene. Propane tanks, golf
clubs, and other items have been used to break glass windows
leading into the residence. The suspect(s) focused on jewelry
and electronics as being their priority once inside of the
residence.
On
January 22, 2009 a homeowner from the Groves Subdivision
returned home at approximately 1:00 pm and found a late model,
silver in color, Nissan Altima, four-door, type vehicle in his
driveway. When the homeowner entered his residence, he
observed a white male suspect in the rear patio area. The
white male suspect was able to flee the area in the vehicle
described.
On
January 27, 2009 Lt. Scott Stiltner observed a similar vehicle
bearing a Florida tag; the registered owner had an extensive
criminal history involving burglaries. The Criminal
Investigation Division initiated surveillance on the vehicle
and occupants. Further investigation led to the recovery of
stolen property from five daytime burglaries.
On
January 30, 2009 the below listed three individuals were
arrested at 900 Village Trail and charged with burglary, grand
theft, trafficking in stolen property, and dealing in stolen
