Back in December, a Lakeland woman lost her Visa debit card. When she realized that it was missing, she reviewed her bank records and discovered unauthorized charges were made on the account at eight businesses.
A Polk County Detective visited all of those businesses and she was able to obtain images of a man and woman using the card, as well as the car they used.
Now the detecting is asking for your help with identifying the suspects.
The suspects are a white female with red hair and a white male. We know that they apparently like burgers, tacos, and Philly Cheese Steaks, because those were some of the fraudulent charges they made.
Recognize these two or the white car? Have any information that would be helpful to this investigation? Please call Detective Turnage at 863-499-2400 (reference case #20-48796).
