Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

Beer thievery!

The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating a retail theft that occurred at the Circle K store at 2109 Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland, on April 5th at around 7:15PM.

The suspect, seen here wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey (Doug Martin, #22), stole two cases of Natural Ice beer. This is definitely not Doug Martin. 

The suspect arrived and left in a car---the only description of which is an early 2000's model silver car with black wheels.

If you recognize this suspect, or you have additional information which could be helpful to this investigation, please call Detective Marshall at 863-577-1625 (case #22-14849).
