This wasn’t the help she needed
2:06 p.m. — First Block of Petrea Terrace. Theft. The victim said she injured her leg recently and needed help around the house while she rehabilitated. She hired the suspect on the recommendation of a friend.
She became suspicious that the suspect was stealing items because things began to be missing. She would be searching for missing jewelry and would ask the suspect if she had seen it. The suspect would always know where it was located.
There were several times when the victim became upset about not being able to find jewelry, and the suspect would find it in a strange place that it would not normally be. Even though the suspect would find some of the jewelry, there are still many missing from the residence.

Lost and found by cop
4:18 p.m. — 1400 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Found Property. The officer observed a large, brown purse in a shopping cart in a parking lot. It appeared that the owner forgot it, because there were no cars around it.
The officer looked in the purse for identification and found paperwork and a driver’s license for two different people.
The officer located an address in Breakaway Trails, but the house was vacant and for sale. The other address was in New Smyrna Beach, so he requested an attempt to contact.
He then called Publix to let them know he found the purse. One of people identified by the purse identification was in the Publix at that time. The officer returned to the Publix, and the person was happy to get the purse back and thanked the officer.
