Not the kind of bracelets she wanted to be in
2:15 p.m. — 600 block of Palm Coast Parkway
Grand theft: An asset protection employee at a local clothing store noticed a young woman enter the jewelry department, grab three bracelets and a necklace from the display case, walk over to the shoe section, then remove the jewelry from its packaging and hide it in her purse. The woman, a 31-year-old Palm Coast resident, then returned to the jewelry section and repeated her routine before walking out of the store without paying. The asset protection employee stopped the woman in front of the store, escorted her back inside, and called the Sheriff’s Office.
The store got all of the jewelry back — it's total worth was $355 — and a deputy arrested the woman on a charge of grand theft shoplifting.

4:58 p.m. — First block of Roxton Lane
Car burglary: A man was walking down his driveway when he noticed a teenager in his neighbor’s Cadillac. He yelled at the teen, who dropped several items on the ground and took off running. The teen met up with another boy at the intersection of Roxton Lane and Rockwell Lane, and they continued together on foot.
The car’s owner looked inside the Cadillac and noticed that items were moved around in the glove compartment. She told a deputy that she kept the car unlocked.
A deputy found and stopped the youth who’d waited for the teenage burglar at the intersection. The youth’s father spoke with deputies by phone and said he recognized their description of the car burglar, and gave them the teen’s name.
Deputies found the teenage car burglar at his home and took him to the county jail. When he arrived, he blurted out, “Did my friend get caught too?” The teen’s statement was recorded on a deputy’s body camera.
