Jacksonville Beach – The Jacksonville Beach Police Department (JBPD) is actively searching for four suspects connected to a series of robberies at the Marshalls store located at 1980 3rd Street South. These incidents occurred in late May 2025, involving a total of over $3,000 in stolen merchandise.
On May 29, 2025, two of the suspects executed a theft where they stole merchandise valued at $949.75. During the robbery, one suspect distracted the store’s security personnel, allowing the other to exit the store with the stolen goods. The following day, at approximately 4:39 p.m. on May 30, the same two suspects returned to the Marshalls store, this time accompanied by a female suspect, bringing the total number of individuals involved in the theft to four. This second robbery resulted in the theft of items totaling $2,083.80.
The police have detailed that the first incident served as a precursor to the second, with the three suspects from the first robbery including one who played a critical role in distracting security. The JBPD has made it clear that they are keen to identify these suspects and bring them to justice.
