Police say two African American male suspects approached the jewelry store. One suspect threw a large cinderblock through the window and entered the business. A second suspect entered the store and both men removed items from the counters and left, taking about $6,000 in jewelry. The first suspect is described as African American, 6 feet tall, thin build, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, blue athletic shorts, white shoes and black and light brown gloves, with tattoos on both wrists. The second suspect is also African American, 6 feet tall, medium build, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, black shorts and shoes, and blue gloves.
Detectives believe a second burglary, occurring later the same morning at Hess on
U.S. 1, in Bunnell, is related. In that case, the glass front door was shattered and an ATM and 40 cartons of cigarettes were taken.
Daytona Beach detectives believe the same suspects are involved in at least two recent incidents. One on July 9, at 12:55 a.m. at Citgo, on North Nova Road, and another on July 12. In the Citgo burglary, two African American male suspects attempted to steal money from the ATM and a stolen black Dodge truck was possibly involved, detectives said.

Ridgewood Ave. a Discount Market, a Dodge truck was used to break a door and two African American suspects were seen, Daytona Beach Police Detective Elizabeth Daniel said.
