On August 11th at about 1:35 am, a man approached a parked car and intentionally damaged it.
The crime occurred in front of a business in the 800 block of North Combee Road in Lakeland.
Security video captured the man as he walked up to the unoccupied car and began scratching it with what appears to be a knife.
The suspect was recorded passing the same area at a different time during the day.
Based on this video, it appears that the suspect is a white male, and may be bald.
If you think you might recognize this man, please contact Detective Bolin at 863-499-2400. Or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
