Polk County Sheriff's detectives are seeking the public's help in a stolen vehicle investigation that occurred in March 2019.
Sometime during the evening between March 17th and March 18th, 2018, the tan and black Ford Expedition seen here was stolen from Troon Circle in Davenport. Two vehicle burglaries were committed during the same time frame in the same area. The video surveillance photo seen here taken by the Polk Parkway camera shows two suspects, who appear to be older teens.
The stolen SUV was later recovered in Davenport.
If anyone has information about this incident or recognizes these suspects, they are urged to contact Detective Wiertel at 863-236-3931.
