NEWBERRY, Fla. – In a case that has drawn considerable local attention, Carrie Elizabeth Webb, 46, will serve a decade behind bars after a jury convicted her of burglarizing her former workplace while attempting to disguise herself.
According to a report from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, the incident took place on June 29, 2023, at Enos Nail Salon located at 13005 SW 1st Road, Suite 133 in Newberry. During the burglary, approximately $700 was reported stolen.
Webb, who had been dismissed from her position at the salon roughly a month prior to the break-in, was familiar with the business’s cash handling procedures. Surveillance footage captured her approaching the salon clad in a mask, hoodie, and gloves. She was seen entering a code into a key box, retrieving the key, and unlocking the door. Webb proceeded directly to the drawer containing the bank bag and extracted $650 before moving to the cash register to take an additional $50. The entire theft was executed in a mere two minutes.
By April 2024, when the legal complaint was formally filed, Webb had relocated to New Smyrna Beach. Her arrest followed in St. Johns County about a week later, after which she was released on bail.
In March 2026, she was formally charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure while wearing a mask; the theft charge was not prosecuted.
On April 1, 2026, a jury found her guilty of burglary while wearing a mask to conceal her identity, and Judge Robert Groeb sentenced her to 10 years in state prison. Webb has appealed the verdict.
