An elderly woman was swindled out of more than $10,000 and Daytona Beach police are searching for two suspects.
Police said, the 86-year-old woman was approached today, in the Publix Supermarket on Belville road, by a black female who asked for a ride to Sam’s Club. The elderly woman agreed and that’s when a black male suspect appeared to assist with the scam.
At some point the woman went to the Wells Fargo Bank at 1300 Belville Road and withdrew over $10,000 and gave it to the suspects. The exact sequence of events remains murky, as the woman is confused, police said.
Suspect # 1 is described as a black female, 5’3” – 5’5” tall, heavy set with black hair. She was wearing white slacks, white sandals and a blue blouse.
Suspect # 2, described as a black male, is of thin build, dark complexion with short brown hair and was clean shaven. He was wearing a black skully cap, black pants and a black windbreaker.
Both suspects were last seen leaving the area in a 2010 or 2011 white 4 door Nissan Altima.
Police said, a BOLO has been issued for both suspects. A $2,500 reward is being offered for their arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information on the identity of the two suspects is asked to contact Detective Raymond Ousterman at [email protected] or (386) 671 – 5206.
