'Serial convenience-store robbery suspect' sought

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is hoping to identify a man described as a "serial convenience-store robbery suspect." 

The same suspect is believed to be responsible for four robberies at 24-hour stores in the south end of Deltona since February, plus possibly two more in Seminole County. In each case, the suspect either brandished a weapon or implied he had one.  

The latest incident occurred around 2 a.m. Monday morning at the 7-Eleven at 839 DeBary Ave., Deltona. It’s believed to be the second time the same suspect robbed that store.

The other robberies in Volusia County occurred at a Circle K store 1712 Doyle Road and a Cumberland Farms store at 1251 Providence Blvd. No injuries were reported in these cases.

After each robbery, it’s believed the suspect left the store on foot. It’s unknown at this time if he eventually entered a vehicle or if he remained on foot.

The suspect is described as a black man, between 17 to 25 years of age, with a thin build, 5 feet, 8 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing 140 to 170 pounds. 

If you have any information or additional surveillance footage that might lead to an arrest in these cases, please contact the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office at 386-860-7030 or Detective J. Paul at 386-801-9162.
