Robbery. While grocery shopping, an Ormond Beach elderly woman had her wallet stolen by another woman whom she encountered in the store's cookie aisle.
According to a police report, the suspect began to push up against the elderly woman multiple times in the aisle. The victim had her handbag hanging from the handle bars of her shopping cart, and suddenly noticed the suspect had her hand in her bag. The suspect said she was "zipping it up" for her, and when the elderly woman grabbed it, the suspect fled the store. That's when she realized her wallet, with her driver's license and $50 in cash, was gone.
The victim was able to cancel her cards and the only attempted transaction totaled $1. She told police she wished to press charges.

Vandalism. A local school's dumpster was set on fire early in the morning, launching the campus adviser into action to put it out. When one of the assistant principals arrived at the scene, the dumpster was still smoldering and had to be hosed down.
The sides of the dumpster were charred, according to the police incident report, and the led was melted and the inside contents burned. While searching the dumpster, a burnt skillet was found. Video footage from the school showed two adults approached the dumpster, possibly through a cut section of the fence, and ignite the fire. They continued walking the campus "while searching for opportunities to commit crimes," the report states.
The dumpster is valued at $800.
