Crime Stoppers

SOLVED: East Lakeland theft

Dec 20, 2021
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

***UPDATE: January 5, 2022***
This case is solved...in a rather unusual way. Both men were in the white & black truck when it ran a stop sign and crashed into a deputy's patrol car. The driver of the truck, Christopher Shaffer (thin guy in the photos with the ball cap) was driving impaired, and was subsequently arrested for that. The other man was identified as Troy Lundgren (the man in the photos who is dressed like a Minion with yeller shirt and blue overalls), and deputies are currently looking for him. If you happen to know where he can be found, let us know.

ORIGINAL POST:
This truck really stands out, so someone should be able to provide information about it, and possibly the two men who were in it.

A theft occurred on December 20th at a business located at 4349 US 92 East in the Lakeland area.

The suspects took various car parts from the business. 

The suspects are both white males in a white and black pick up truck.
