Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

The Polk County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify these two men who attempted a distraction-type theft at the Mulberry Dollar General store (410 Canal St. West) on January 11th.

Suspect 1 selected several items for purchase. While checking out, Suspect 2 began asking the clerk several questions regarding electronics behind the counter. When the clerk's back was turned, the suspects made multiple attempts to get the cash register opened. 

After failing, both suspects left the store without making a purchase.

The vehicle the two men left in (pictured) was a white hatchback sedan. 

If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Detective Creekmore at 863-499-2400 ext. 126 or LCreekmore@polksheriff.org (Case #23-1512)
