Ormond Beach Police are investigating a burglary that happened at the Ormond Brewing Company on June 27 around 3:56 am. The incident was captured by security cameras, which show the suspect arrived well-prepared, with gloves, backpacks and tools.
The suspect was also carrying a handgun in a hip holster, which he left at the scene, on Ormond Brewing Company President Justin Robinson's desk. He said the suspect broke in through the tap room's serving window.
"You immediately feel violated," he said. "Ormond Beach is a real honest town with really good people, and it's just a shame this guy took advantage of a small business."
Many of those good people came out to the brewery's Railroad District Food Truck Rally June 28 to support the business.
"Come support Ormond Brewing Company tonight," Andrew Gall, Young Professionals Group Ormond President wrote on Facebook. "Let's show this jerk what a great community we have."
The brewery posted photos of the suspect on their Facebook page, and it was shared over 2,336 times.
"Ormond Brewing Company has the greatest friends and customers anywhere," the company posted. "You all shared the burglary post and pics over 2,000 times, which increases the chance of this knucklehead being caught. As trying as yesterday was, we still have beer to make and a business to run so back to it we go. Tonight we would love to see all of you come out to our food truck rally and chill with us. Maybe a nice group picture that we can send to our thief once he is arrested and put in jail."
