College security officer robbed after aiding 2 teens www.privateofficer.com
DAYTONA BEACH FL June 30 2009
newsjournalonline.com — A Bethune-Cookman University security guard allowed two teens to use her office bathroom because one of the boys was bleeding and she felt sorry for him.
The kindness was returned with a crime, police said. The boys stole her car.
Monday afternoon security guard Teia Berube and her roommate Reshaunda Bennett sat in their apartment off Nova Road looking befuddled about the theft. The car, a 2000 Buick LeSabre, belongs to Bennett but Berube was using it Friday night.
Berube, 20, said the suspects, who are still missing with the Buick, were no older than 15.
“Normally, we’re not allowed to let anyone use our bathroom,” Berube said. “But one of them was bleeding. He told me he had fallen and I felt bad for him, so I let him use the bathroom.”
Seconds later, Berube looked out the window of the university security office on Lincoln Street on the college campus, and she noticed the car was gone from the parking lot.
According to an incident report, the boys asked Berube whether they could use the restroom just before 7 p.m. Friday. She let them in and continued working, dispatching security calls. She told police she had left the car keys on top of a desk in another room, the report states.
Security officials from the college looked at the videotape from the surveillance camera set up outside and told police the images show both boys climbing into the car and speeding off, heading north on Lincoln, the reports states.
Last week, Daytona Beach police Chief Mike Chitwood and other police officials said more vehicles are getting snatched by teens, with the cars being used to commit other crimes.
The Florida license plate of the beige Buick is 208IQM. There is also a large “DC” sticker on the back window.
Anyone with information is asked to call Daytona Beach police at 386-671-5100.
