Here's a tough one for all of the citizen-detectives out there.
On March 15th, between 1:00 - 2:00 pm, someone drove onto the grounds of Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland and burglarized several vehicles by shattering windows.
Personal property was then stolen from those vehicles.
A witness described the suspect as a black male, tall & thin, with short hair. At the time, he was wearing a black cut-off shirt with sweatpants.
The suspect fled the area in a gray Nissan Sentra baring a cardboard license plate that said, "Lost Tag."
