3:22 p.m. — First block of Circle Creek Way, Ormond Beach
Fraud. Police met with a 62-year-old Ormond Beach man who said his American Airlines account had been hacked about a month prior.
The man said that he was notified by the airline that his frequent flyer miles had been cashed out. This had been done without his approval or knowledge, the incident report states. He informed the airline about the fraudulent activity, and while investigating the issue, both the resident and the airline representative noticed a name and email address listed in the confirmation email. However, before the man could write down the email address, the confirmation email was deleted and it was unable to be retrieved.
The man sought for his frequent flyer miles, valued at over $3,500, to be reimbursed, and needed a police report for this purpose. He didn't wish to pursue charges.
11:37 a.m. — 500 block of Crowne Point Court, Ormond Beach
Unarmed burglary. Police arrived at a local apartment complex to meet with its management staff, who advised the reporting officer that an apartment had been burglarized.
Staff said that they believed the suspect was still inside. They said they had evicted a man and his grandmother the day before from the property and suspected the man had been the one to break a rear window of the apartment and remain inside. Maintenance staff was unable to enter the apartment because the man, a 33-year-old Ormond Beach man, had locked the door from the inside with a deadbolt.
Police spoke with the man, who soon opened the front door. He was detained, and told police that he had slept in the woods the night before and went back to his old apartment around 4 a.m. The property manager wished to press charges; the damage to the window was estimated at about $535.
The man was taken to jail.
8:43 a.m. — 600 block of South Yonge Street, Ormond Beach
Burglary. Police responded to a local cafe, whose owner said that when she arrived to work that morning, she noticed the cafe's front lower window had been shattered.
The cafe owner found out that a bucket of change kept near the register was missing. She estimated there were about $70-$75 worth of coins in the bucket, according to the incident report.
She did not want to pursue charges.
