A registered
sex offender was arrested after he allegedly attempted to buy a girl from her mother for $100,000 while the pair were shopping at a
Florida grocery store, police say.
In a
Facebook post shared by the Port Orange Police Department on Thursday, authorities describe how they arrested Hellmuth Kolb, 85, after they were called to a Winn Dixie grocery store after the mother claimed that the registered sex offender had approached her and her daughter about buying the young girl.
“Hellmuth Kolb attempted to purchase a female minor child for $100,000.00, from her parent. Due to the parent’s clear concern that someone was insistent on attempting to purchase their daughter in a grocery store, we were notified,” police said in a statement released the week after an investigation had been carried out about the 16 August incident.
Authorities say they were able to confirm with Kolb’s probation officer that the 85-year-old is currently on “probation for similar issues” and part of that probation is to not have any contact with minors, with his recent offence at the Florida grocery chain being in clear violation of that stipulation..........
