The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said it’s looking for a woman or women responsible for ID theft and several car break-ins.  
A bank camera caught images of a woman, possibly two women trying to cash checks that were stolen from inside cars around Volusia County, deputies said.
Deputies said the woman tried to cash a check at the Space Coast Credit Union on Enterprise Road in Orange City, using stolen identification. A bank employee realized the ID didn’t match the woman and called authorities.
