ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:
The Polk County Sheriff's Office is asking for assistance from anyone who might recognize this guy.
On September 18th, at about 9:25 AM, this man attempted to burgle a house in the area of Maine Avenue and Iowa Road.
His super stealth actions may have helped him avoid detection at the time, but the victim has a pretty nifty security system. And it didn't hurt that our suspect looked right at the camera.
If you recognize this man, please contact PCSO Detective D. Ryan at 863-499-2400 (case #21-38704).
If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Heartland Crime Stoppers:
* Call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477)
* From your cell phone, dial **TIPS
* Or visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip,"
* Or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
You will always remain anonymous when you send a tip through Crime Stoppers and you are eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
