DAYTONA, Fla -- Volusia County Deputies have made several arrests at the popular "Welcome to Rockville" music festival that is taking place over the weekend, authorities say. 

Law enforcement made 6 arrests in connection to people stealing cell phones and other electronic items from unsuspecting concert goers today.  Deputies say they were working in pairs and over 50 stolen cell phones were recovered from the suspects.

Detectives say all 6 suspects were here illegally and are Columbian Nationals. 

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood says, “Witnesses described suspects working in pairs—one reaching between victims’ pockets, bags, or purses, stealing the contents, and then handing them off to another suspect,” VSO said.

In a statement, VCSO said, “We are the lead agency responsible for the safety and security of our Rockville guests, and we take it seriously! We’re out there again today, working with our partner agencies to make sure this is a safe event. Criminal activity like this won’t be tolerated.”

 In a statement posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), Volusia County Sheriff's Office says, "Last night at @RockvilleFest, law enforcement responded to dozens of reports of phones & wallets stolen from concert-goers. Witnesses described suspects working in pairs - one reaching into pockets, bags, or purses, stealing the contents, then handing them off to another suspect"

The United States Department of Homeland Security is investigating their legal status and how they got here.
