Criminal Mischief in unincorporated Lakeland

Feb 27, 2021
Media Contact : Alicia Manautou, PIO

Detectives from the Polk County Sheriff's Office are trying to identify the persons of interest in this video in reference to a criminal mischief.

On Saturday night (February 27th) at around 11:45 p.m., two black males and one white male wearing hoodies were seen near a community mail box in the area of Shannon Drive and North Daughtery Road in unincorporated Lakeland. The subjects used some sort of explosive device to open the mailboxes.

While the video isn’t the best, we are hoping someone recognizes them. And if you do recognize the two in the video or have any information pertaining to this incident, please contact Detective Wright at 863-577-1626 (reference case #21-8956).

If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Heartland Crime Stoppers: 
* Call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477)
* From your cell phone, dial **TIPS 
* Or visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip" 
* Or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet 

You will always remain anonymous when you send a tip through Crime Stoppers and you are eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
