Grand theft. A 300-foot hose from a local pest control company's truck was reported stolen after an employee noticed it was missing when he arrived at his first job of the day.
According to a police incident report, the employee had last seen the truck after he parked it in a gated lot. But, while the parking lot does have gates, a pedestrian can walk beside them to gain entrance, the report notes.
In addition to the hose, a metal sprayer and connections were also taken, which the business owner said would cost about $1,200. The chemicals inside the tank would also have to be disposed of, as it was unknown if they had been tampered with.
A suspect has yet to be identified. No surveillance footage was found.

Burglary. A 43-year-old Daytona Beach woman called police after she opened her storage unit and found it in a disheveled state, with several electronics missing.
Police report the woman stored the missing items — three laptops, one tablet, chargers and a laptop case — on July 5. Days later on July 11, she noticed that a 36-year-old Daytona Beach man, a possible suspect in the case, had one of the chargers she knew she had stored in the unit. He denied the charger was hers, but the woman told police he also made passing comments about other items in her storage unit, like her Beanie Babies collection, which he shouldn't have known about.
The woman found a wallet and backpack full of men's clothing inside the storage unit. Inside the wallet was a Social Security card belonging to another possible suspect, a 44-year-old Daytona Beach man.
The items missing were valued at about $2,600. She wished to pursue charges.
