Crime Stoppers

NORTH LAKELAND: Circle K Retail Theft

Jul 27, 2021
Media Contact : Alicia Manautou, PIO

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.

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.
