Know this guy?

On July 3rd, at around 5:30 p.m., this guy pretended to be a customer (and was probably pretending to be concerned about catching Covid by wearing that mask) and when he saw an opportunity, he took it. He also took two iPhones.

The theft occurred at the T-Mobile store at 2032 Shepherd Road near Mulberry.
If you recognize him, or you have information that could be helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Hannon from the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863-499-2400 (Case #22-27648).
