Police arrested three Volusia County business owners and managers on Tuesday in a $2 million food stamp scam.

Daytona Beach police said store owners and managers are at three stores used a scheme to take nearly $2 million since May 2011. Police got wind of the scheme and started investigating along with the Secret Service and Department of Agriculture and used undercover agents using EBT cards at three businesses. 

Officers searched the Crab Stop on Martin Luther King Drive, the Citgo off U.S. 92 and Martin Luther King Drive and the Nova Mart on South Nova Road, according to police.        

The owners were all working separately and allowed undercover officers to use EBT cards almost as debit cards, by giving customers cash instead of using those cards for food, police said.

According to police reports, Khaled M. Azzi, 34, arrested after an undercover SNAP EBT transaction at Nova Food Mart. Azzi sold $200,000 a year in unauthorized items in exchange for SNAP benefits.

Lindo P. Jolly, 28, was arrested at the CITGO gas station after he allowed more than $700,000 a year in false EBT sales.

Susan Robinson, 55, was arrested after the Crab Stop averaged at $42,000 a month in EBT sales, approximately at $1.1 million a year, according to police.

Then, the owners would charge those customers a fee so they profited off the illegal sale. One of the owners bought EBT cards for 50-cents on the dollar, and then bought food items with the card, police said.

They also illegally allowed purchases of alcohol and cigarettes to be bought on those cards.

Police say they were not working together and were all separate scams. Suspects are being questioned by police Tuesday night and will soon be taken to jail.

The suspects’ identities have not been released. They're being charged with racketeering, fraud and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Police said other employees and customers are being questioned and more arrests could be coming.
