All theft is highly frowned upon, and this one is no different.
Detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office need your help to identify the man and woman in this video.
At about 4:30 pm on September 2, 2021, the two enter a convenience store on Marcum Road in unincorporated Lakeland. As you can see in the video, the man puts a bottle of orange juice in his pants. Then he momentarily struggles with his decision, chooses another drink, and makes a quick stop in the bathroom – with both drinks in tow.
When he leaves the bathroom, he is one drink lighter. Employees found the empty orange juice bottle in the bathroom after the suspect drove away in a dark colored Jeep.
If you recognize this orange juice thief and his partner, the Jeep, or have any other information related to this crime, please contact Detective Wright at 863-577-1626 (case #21-36610)
