The Polk County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify the two suspects in this video who stole around $2000 worth of cigarettes from a Circle K Store (1026 Walt Williams Road) in unincorporated Lakeland.
On July 27, 2021, around 7:00 p.m., the two men – both wearing checkered shirts – entered the store. The suspect at the beginning of the video (wearing a blue and gray checkered shirt) distracted the clerks by inquiring about lottery tickets. Then as you see in the video, the second suspect (wearing a red and white checkered shirt) snuck into a back storage room and stole the cigarettes.
They left in a white Chevrolet car.
If anyone recognizes these suspects, or has information that could be helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Wright at 863-577-1626 and reference case #21-33156.
