Total of 5 search warrant search warrants are being served. 4 of them are being served at the exact same time. 2 arrests in a series of car burglaries, both suspects just 13 years old,\" the sheriff said.

Officials also reported arrests in prostitution enforcement: \"Azalea Spa in Deltona is just 1 of 10 massage parlors in Volusia County where employees were arrested on prostitution charges,\" a briefing segment said. Captains and detectives described additional cases that included shoplifting, vandalism with pellet guns (two 18-year-olds who admitted firing pellet guns and damaging windows), and an animal-cruelty investigation where deputies removed a severely neglected dog later adopted by a Palm Bay family.

Detectives described numerous burglary, theft and robbery cases cleared by arrest, and said digital forensics on seized electronics are being used to link suspects to prior overdoses and crimes.

Ending: Officials said enforcement actions will continue and urged residents to report crimes and provide surveillance footage to detectives.

Smith said the districts highest single-week tip volume reached 167, compared with 16 tips during the week of Dec. 9. Officials described multiple written threats that were investigated and, in several cases, led to identification and charging of juveniles, including a tip traced to Reading, Pennsylvania, and a suspect at Seabreeze High School.

The district has begun random screenings and planned tests of Evolve weapon-detection technology and continues to use metal detectors, an open-gate detector, and K9 Maverick to sniff for weapons. Smith said the district has installed more than 140 vape detectors and that the office of Safe Schools audited 21 schools so far.

Officials at the briefing also addressed traffic and parking congestion at school drop-off and pickup, saying the sheriffs office and school safety teams will conduct traffic studies and work with city officials to improve flow and signage.

Ending: The district said screening and audits will continue, technology trials are underway, and parents and residents should report safety concerns to school officials and deputies.

Sheriff (name not specified) summarized recent seizures and enforcement operations, saying deputies and task-force officers recovered a large quantity of drugs and related evidence during multiple operations. \"They're still there executing it right now, so I don't have the total numbers, but I can tell you that, oxycodone, fentanyl, cocaine, Xanax, and, marijuana, was all recovered along with, firearms,\" the sheriff said.

The briefing included seizure figures cited by speakers: a department summary listed $565,000 in narcotics seizures (noting 158 grams of fentanyl, 239 grams of meth and 3,278 grams of cocaine in one description) and later broader statements of larger quantities that were not presented consistently. Officials also credited narcotics detectives and an overdose task force with a year-over-year reduction in overdose deaths countywide.

Officials said Volusia County recorded 175 overdose deaths in 2024, a decline from the previous year; the sheriff also said the city of Deltonas overdose deaths declined from 24 in 2023 to 15 in 2024, and that Deltona saw 78 overdoses in 2024 (figures and percentages were presented in multiple, partly inconsistent ways during the briefing).

Speakers stressed that narcotics enforcement work included multiple search warrants and joint operations with regional partners and that the overdose task force and detectives used seized electronics for digital forensics to link cases.

Ending: Officials said narcotics enforcement remains active and that recovered evidence is under forensic analysis; they emphasized prevention and encouraged residents to report suspected drug activity.

\"The best thing that I can recommend for the the citizens and stuff, if you have a Kia or a Hyundai that fall within this range, the date range of being built, is lock it. Don't leave it unlocked,\" Captain Omar McKnight said.

McKnight said detectives identified an Orange County crew that entered Deltona on Dec. 7, broke into multiple cars during a three- to four-hour span, and left with stolen vehicles that were later recovered in Orange County. During a CompStat period cited at the briefing, deputies conducted targeted operations (one from midnight to 3 a.m., another from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.) that resulted in 48 stops, nine misdemeanor arrests and four felony arrests, and 36 juvenile curfew checks.

Investigators said some thefts were carried out with methods shared on social media platforms and that juveniles in a local neighborhood were responsible for separate joyriding incidents in which cars were quickly dumped nearby.

Detectives described neighborhood clusters of incidents in the Normandy/Saxon/Tivoli area and said video surveillance helped identify suspect vehicles; in one case a recovered vehicle used to tow stolen trailers was tracked into Seminole County. Officials said technology and DNA/fingerprint analysis remain part of ongoing investigations.

Deltona deputies and detectives encouraged vehicle owners to adopt simple precautions and to report suspicious behavior. McKnight said law enforcement has placed additional technology and operations in affected neighborhoods to deter repeat thefts.

Ending: Investigations into outstanding stolen vehicles remain active, officials said. Deputies asked owners of older Kia and Hyundai models to secure vehicles and urged residents with video footage or tips to contact the sheriffs office so detectives can follow leads.","Volusia County Sheriff's Office officials described a series of coordinated operations in Deltona after thieves targeted certain Kia and Hyundai models, reporting multiple arrests and recommending simple vehicle-security steps to residents.","actionData","errors"]
