“We found a hardware store inside this little house on San Souci Avenue, DeLand,” the release reads. “The suspects have built quite a business through fraud. Drugs and weapons charges haven’t put them away in the past, but maybe financial crimes will.”

The case is still active, and deputies said that no arrests have been made at the time of writing.
