Dog helps child return home
8:23 a.m. — 100 Block of Ormond Shores Drive. Found Child. Two witnesses looked out a window and saw a small child with a dog in the street. They went out front and stayed with the child until police arrived.
The officer tried to talk to child to get a name or address but got no results. Another officer began sweeping the area to look for a parent.
The child was able to say the dog’s name, so the officers decided to tell the dog to go home and then follow it. The dog led them to a house on a street around the corner.
The front gate and front door of the home were open. The resident confirmed that the dog and child were missing.
Investigation revealed that the child had unlocked the dead bolt on the door, opened the gate latch and walked down the street while her mother was asleep.
The residence was in good condition with plenty of food. The mother said she would take security measures to make sure it did not happen again. The officers told the mother that they would have to notify the Department of Children and Families.

Another self-checkout trick
5:45 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Petit Theft. The suspect used the self-checkout lane. While scanning milk, barbecue sauce and orange juice, she used a separate barcode sticker rather than the barcode on the items. The barcode she used rang up as “Frosty Ring” at $1.12. The loss prevention officer stopped her at the door and took her to the office where she dropped the separate barcode sticker.
A police officer found that she had a Notice to Appear in her record. She was arrested and taken to Volusia County Branch Jail.
