Victim changes story
2:17 p.m. — North Beach Street and Cumberland Avenue. Burglary of Conveyance. The victim said her driver’s license was stolen from her vehicle and she needed a police report generated to get a replacement from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
She said it broken into somewhere on International Speedway Boulevard. The officer said that since the location was in Daytona Beach, she would need to file a report with the Daytona Beach Police Department. She then said it was actually near a grocery store on South Yonge Street. The officer said that since that is Holly Hill, she would need to file a report with Holly Hill Police Department. She then changed her story and said she didn’t know where it was broken into. After thinking about it, she said it was at a friend’s house near Beach Street and Cumberland Avenue.
The officer made a report and gave her a victim’s right pamphlet.

Name game
8:43 a.m. — 700 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Information. The business employee said that the suspect came in to have Botox treatments on her face, and signed in with the name, Karen Johnson.
When it was her turn for treatment, the staff had to call her several times before they got her attention. The suspect then said her name was Cara Johnson.
After the services were performed, the suspect completed paperwork and presented a Georgia driver’s license with the name Ann C. Myers.
At the end of the day, the staff noticed that the suspect had not paid the $300 for the services. The employee called the number that the suspect provided, but it was for a pressure washing company in Tampa.
The suspect had given the address of a hotel on Bill France Boulevard, but a hotel employee said they could not provide information on whether someone with her name was staying there.
The employee went on the Internet, and found that a person with the suspect’s name had been arrested in Georgia for theft of services.
The officer attempted to run the driver’s license number but got negative results. The employee said the driver’s license looked like it may have been fake, because the corners were squared and not round.
A copy of the driver’s license and the mug shot from Georgia with the suspect’s name was placed into records.

Too good to be true
10:31 a.m. — First Block of Marvin Road. Information. The victim said he received a phone call from the suspect who advised him that he would receive a new Mercedes-Benz if he would open a savings account with $40 so they could deposit $2,400 into his account. He opened the account, and the suspect wired $2,400 into it.
He was then instructed to send a telegram to an address. He suspected a fraud, and called police. His sister drove him to the bank to close the account. A bank employee said they would have to wait until the transfer clears or not clears before closing the account.
The sister said they are trying to get the victim into assisted living to prevent these types of incidents.
The Department of Children and Families is documenting the incident.
