Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two Palm Coast women Monday evening on charges of burglary after a homeowner discovered the two inside her Palm Coast house, according to a press FCSO press release.
The victim reported arriving home around 6:40 p.m. and seeing shadows moving inside the 3 Ryan Drive home.
Lisa Touhey, 29, and Jennie McAfee, 30, both of 39 Bellaire Drive, were found inside the home when deputies arrived.
“Our victim did just what she should have done — she called the Sheriff’s Office when she saw suspicious activity,” Sheriff Donald Fleming said Tuesday in a statement. “We encourage everyone to call when they suspect something is wrong. Don’t investigate it yourself — that’s our job.”
Deputies reported the two women were seen exiting through the backdoor of the house. When deputies identified themselves, McAfee stopped. However, Touhey ran toward the front of the house, where she was taken into custody by two waiting deputies.
The two women told deputies they had been living in the house since March 18, after being released from jail.
The homeowner reported miscellaneous jewelry and a lawn mower missing.
McAfee was charged with burglary and theft. Touhey was charged with burglary, theft and resisting an officer without violence. Also, both McAfee and Touhey had previous arrest records in Flagler County.
Both were booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility. Touhey is being held on $2,500 bond and McAfee’s bond is set at $2,000.
