Vandalism. A local homeowners association community manager called police after two unidentified teenage boys threw 10-15 pool chairs into one of the community pools.
The incident took place a couple days prior, according to a police report, but the manager told officers they have had an ongoing issue with juveniles sneaking into the pools. The teens engage in various acs of trespassing, disorderly conduct and vandalism, the report states, often entering the pool area by bending the aluminum fence pickets and squeezing inside.
Officers reviewed security footage for the most recent incident. It is unknown if they are residents of the community.
The patio furniture thrown into the pool was not damaged, the report states. The HOA, however, seeks to press charges for the damaged fence pickets.

Fraud. A 76-year-old Ormond Beach man was scammed out of $30,000 after he received a text message appearing to originate from his bank, instructing him to place the cash in boxes to be picked up.
According to a police incident report, the victim received a text inquiring if he had made an alleged $800 purchase at a big box store. The victim replied, "no," at which point he was contacted by someone pretending to work for his bank's fraud department.
The caller alleged to the victim that a branch manager and employee were stealing money from customers and instructed him to withdraw $30,000 in cash. Someone later came over to his home to pick up a box containing $20,000 in cash, and a second box containing $10,000 was later picked up.
The second box was initially returned, as the driver, who had an Uber sign on his window, told the victim he didn't have enough gas to deliver the package. A second vehicle then came to pick up the box.
The man was told he would get his money back on Oct. 6. When that didn't happen, and the number he had been calling was disconnected, he contacted police.
