***UPDATE***
This suspect has been identified and a complaint affidavit has been filed.



CRIME: RETAIL THEFT
CRIME SCENE: CIRCLE K - 10704 US 98 NORTH, LAKELAND
POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICSuspect and vehicleE CASES #24-17397


The Polk County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify the man in these photos. 

On April 27th, at around midnight, this man entered the Circle K convenience store and stole some beer. Pretty convenient for him, not so much for the convenience store.

The suspect was described as a white male, possibly in his 20s, about 5'8" and 150lbs, and dark curly hair. He fled the area in a white pickup truck with black trim.

The store employee reported that it was a 24-pack of Busch Light beer, and he believes the same suspect has done this before.

If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Detective Peffer at 863-577-1600 or JPeffer@polksheriff.org.
