Two Rockledge restaurant owners, Dongdong Ye and Mei Mei Dong, are accused of running a multi-state gift card scam that tricked elderly victims—such as a 76-year-old from Wisconsin who sent $10,000 and an 85-year-old in Michigan who wired $75,000—as investigations continue in Brevard County while they remain on bond with a hearing scheduled for next week and Da Sushi by the Aldi stays open.

A Florida couple who own a sushi restaurant in Rockledge has been accused of scamming seniors out of thousands of dollars across multiple states and was arrested in late June by Brevard County deputies; they are set to appear in court in Wisconsin for theft and false representation charges.

Apartment rental prices in Brevard County increased slightly in June as the average rose 0.5% from $1,437 in May to $1,444—one-bedroom listings moved from $1,202 to $1,208 while two-bedroom listings went from $1,349 to $1,356.
