Jul 18, 2020

On Friday, July 17, 2020, at 9:34 p.m., these two suspects armed with knives went into the Dollar General store located at 100 Palmetto Street in Poinciana (AKA Kissimmee area of Polk) and attempted to rob the store clerk.
They're wearing pretty distinctive clothing, masks, latex gloves, and shoes. Do you know who they are? The one in the black clothing with the "devil mask" is about 5'9" tall and possibly had a Spanish accent. The other suspect, wearing the red hoodie & grey or khaki shorts, was shorter and a little more stout than his buddy. He didn't speak, so no accent was heard.
If you have any information about this attempted armed robbery, please contact the PCSO Robbery Unit at 863-298-6379 reference case #20-27915. Or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
