Ormond Beach police responded to the 7-Eleven at 690 S. Nova Road about 4:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 13, in reference to an armed robbery.
The clerk told officers that an unknown white male entered the store wearing a “biker” mask.
The clerk asked the subject to remove his mask, and the subject then demanded the money from the register, according to police.
The clerk refused the demand, and the subject retrieved a small folding knife from his pocket. He then went behind the counter, took several packs of cigarettes and exited the store. The clerk went outside and lost sight of the suspect as he walked away.
A search by police was unsuccessful. A Daytona Beach K-9 unit tracked into the Shady Oaks Mobile Park before ending the search.
The suspect was described as being between four feet, six inches and five-feet tall, and weighing 100 to 140 pounds. He was wearing a grey sweater and blue shorts.
Ormond Beach Police Department officers responded to the Kangaroo Express, 1520 W. Granada Blvd., about 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 14, in reference to an armed robbery. The clerk told officers that the male suspect entered the store wearing a “Batman” mask and carrying a large steak knife, according to police.
The masked subject approached the clerk and said “Give me all of your money, I don’t want to hurt you. Now. I’m not playing. Don’t touch anything.” The suspect leaned over the counter and also ran back and forth in front of the counter as if he was going to go behind it. The clerk took the money out of the register and handed it to the masked subject, who then ran in a westbound direction from the store. Efforts to locate the subject were negative.
The suspect was described as five feet, five inches to eight inches tall and weighing between 100 and 120 pounds. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black long-sleeve shirt.
A K-9 unit from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office tracked the suspect for a distance but lost it.
