Give them some credit

The victim said she slept until noon the next day. She said the suspects left before her daughter came home.

Later that day, the victim took her daughter to South Daytona. She wanted to purchase a soda, but discovered her credit card was missing. She contacted her bank and found there were five charges on her card that she didn’t make.

It comes out in the wash

8:18 a.m. — 100 Block of Bosarvey Drive. Burglary. The victim said the suspect was working for him, and he let the suspect and his girlfriend stay at his house for a few days until they had enough money to find another place to stay. After the suspects left, his wife found clothes of theirs in the washing machine.

While the victim and his wife were out, someone entered their home through the unlocked front door and took the suspects’ clothes, $75 and work tools the victim had hidden in this bedroom.

The victim told police that he doesn’t lock his door because he has three pit bulls that protect the home. He said the only person who could have entered would be the suspect because the dogs got to know him. He said he doesn’t believe anyone else would have taken the clothes.

The victim said he called the suspect, and the suspect said he would send the money back through Western Union, but the victim never received any money. The suspect said he would leave the tools at their worksite and the victim went to the worksite and recovered the tools. The victim has tried to contact the suspect again, but he does not return his calls.
