Crime Stoppers
Dollar Store Theft: Knight Station/Lakeland
Apr 5, 2020
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

On April 5th at about 8:30 pm, a man walked into the Dollar Store (4330 Knight Station Road) in Lakeland and began shopping…although he apparently had no intention of paying for the items he gathered.
As he went up and down the aisles, he placed numerous items into a plastic tub within the shopping cart.
After getting a full load, he went out through the front door without paying for anything.
As you can see, he appears to be a bearded white male wearing a camouflage jacket. Problem is, there are a lot of bearded white males with camouflage jackets around here, but we’re hoping someone will recognize this particular one.
If you do recognize this man, or have any other information that might be helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Colletti from the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863-577-1600 (reference case #20-15311), or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
