PORT ORANGE -- A man and a woman have been charged with breaking into at least 30 vehicles in the city and police here have put out an alert to other area cop shops that might have similar unsolved incidents.

Anyone who has information about this car possibly being seen where a vehicle break-in has occurred is asked to call Port Orange police detective Mike Wallace at 386-506-5885.
The Port Orange Police Department's Criminal Investigative Division put out a press release Thursday stating in part, "Any agencies with similar cases may wish to investigate the subjects' activities in their cities."
