Speaker thief must face the music

11:07 p.m. Street address undisclosed, Ormond Beach

Petit theft. A man walked into a big box store and grabbed two wireless speakers. He then walked over to the stationary section of the store, shoved the speakers into the back pockets of his jeans and tried to walk out without paying. A store loss prevention officer stopped the man, and a police officer arrested him.

Baristas catch criminal

10:00 a.m. 100 block of South Nova Road, Ormond Beach

Passing a counterfeit bill. A woman in line at a coffee shop tried to pay with a $50 bill. The cashier thought the $50 looked suspicious and told a manager, who confronted the woman and a man the woman had walked in with. Both tried to flee, but staff members detained the woman.

She told arriving police officers that she had no idea the bill was counterfeit, but the officers checked other area businesses and found that she'd repeatedly tried to change it out at other stores, and had been turned away. They arrested her.
