Grand theft. Guests at a rental property stole $4,300 worth of miscellaneous items as they checked out from their weekend stay, according to a Sheriff's Office incident report.
A Roomba, TV, vacuum and iPad Mini were among the items stolen.
A man who looks after the property for its owner called the Sheriff's Office when he checked the property after the renters had checked out the morning of Aug. 14. He told the deputy the property is rented out through a third-party website.
Security camera footage showed a group of approximately 10 people — seemingly led by a 60-70-year-old woman — taking turns backing three cars into the home's garage, possibly loading the stolen items in the trunk.
Working with the rental website, an FCSO deputy tracked the suspect listed on the account to the St. Augustine area.

Grand theft. A fast-food restaurant manager believes a safe may have been stolen from the restaurant by employees upset about a recent firing.
The restaurant's closing manager locked the store's small safe inside of a larger safe — which had holes in it from a previous burglary — at the end of the shift, according to an incident report. The next day, the smaller safe was gone.
The missing safe contained $1,400. The manager told Sheriff's Office deputies that employees were recently upset about the firing of another manager and could have stolen the safe for that reason, according to the report.
