Just before 3 a.m. on April 29, masked burglars shattered the front window of a vape shop in the Pavilion at Durbin Park and grabbed merchandise before bolting, according to St. Johns County deputies. In a Facebook reel posted May 19, the sheriff's office said four suspects have now been arrested in connection with the break-in, including two 17-year-olds and an 18-year-old.
Video Shows Smash-and-Grab at Durbin Park Vape Shop
Surveillance footage shared by the sheriff's office appears to show masked suspects heaving a large piece of concrete through the storefront glass, then rushing inside while another person waits outside, armed. Deputies said they tracked down the suspect vehicle and took the occupants into custody after following investigative leads, according to a Facebook reel posted by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Who Was Arrested and Where the Shop Is Located
Authorities identified the suspects as 17-year-olds Joshua Kelly and Zachary Armstrong, 18-year-old Jordan Raysor and a female juvenile. Investigators said all four were booked on counts of criminal mischief, armed burglary and grand theft. The break-in happened at Golden Innovape, which is registered to an address at 45 Durbin Pavilion Drive, Suite 103 in Julington Creek, according to Florida Division of Corporations records.
Investigators Tie Suspects to Other Burglaries
Detectives believe the same group is behind a string of burglaries in both Duval and St. Johns counties and are working to connect cases across jurisdictions, according to a Facebook reel posted by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. Deputies have asked residents to share any dash-cam or doorbell footage from late April to help match scenes and recover stolen items.
How to Contact Investigators
Anyone with information can email [email protected] or call the property crimes unit at 904-824-8304. Tips may be submitted anonymously. Officials said the information could help link the suspects to additional incidents and get merchandise back to victims.
Legal Next Steps
The sheriff's office said charges have been filed, but court records and arraignment dates were not immediately available. Investigators plan to forward their findings to the state attorney's office while they continue to develop additional leads.
