PCSO needs your help in identifying two suspects involved in a burglary investigation. Take a good look at these photos.
On Monday, January 28, 2019, at 3:43 a.m., two men entered the Ace Hardware at 211 Commonwealth Avenue North in Polk City, Florida and stole merchandise and damaged the store.
A black male suspect wearing black pants, a dark blue hoodie with the hood on, black gloves and a black face mask, walked to the north entrance of the store and used an unknown tool to break the glass door.
Another white male suspect also entered the store wearing a black jacket with a camo hood, gloves, glasses and a face mask.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact Detective Bolin at (863)577-1626 or call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward if your information leads to an arrest.
