And check out the video of our two suspects leaving the store with their ill-gotten booty.  

We have a detective who has taken quite the interest in their illicit work, and would like to find out who they are. Maybe even meet them and have a nice chat with them.

Can you help make that happen?

If you think you know who the suspects may be, please contact PCSO Detective Spencer Wright at 863-298-3200 or SWright@polksheriff.org.
