On Friday, September 20th, the individual in the accompanying photo is believed to have entered three vehicles in the North Lakeland area during the late night hours and removed property. The suspect attempted to enter several others, however he was unable to do so due to those vehicles being locked.
The suspect is believed to be driving a silver or grey four door sedan, possibly a Chevrolet (unknown model). The suspect appears to wear a hat on his head with a towel or rag as an attempt to conceal his face.
