On Monday, Oct. 25, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a vehicle burglary at Waterfront Park in Palm Coast. The Real Time Crime Center was able to identify the suspect vehicle and aid in the apprehension of the three suspects, all from Daytona Beach.

The victims stated their vehicle was parked at Waterfront Park around 1:30 p.m. and when they arrived back to the vehicle at 2:30 p.m., the front passenger window was broken out and a wallet and a purse were stolen.

FCSO’s RTCC was able to determine the suspect vehicle was a 2015 Nissan Sentra and determined it traveled from Waterfront Park to Walmart after the burglary occurred. The victims advised deputies that their bank notified them of a declined charge for $504.94 from Walmart on a credit card that was stolen during the burglary.

Deputies located the vehicle leaving Walmart and conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Whiteview Parkway. After securing the suspects, deputies located shards of glass in the pockets of a suspect's jacket and found the victim’s purse in the vehicle along with a firearm. All three suspects were arrested without incident.

Three suspects have 17 prior felony convictions between them and were held on bond at jail.
