Polk County Sheriff's Office detectives are seeking the public's help in identifying a retail theft suspect.
On February 9, 2018, PCSO detectives responded to a retail theft that occurred at the Target located at 5000 Grandview Parkway in Davenport. Around 2:49 p.m., an unknown male suspect wearing a long-sleeved shirt, white hate, white shoes, and dark-colored jeans walked into Target and went to the electronics section. While he was there, he grabbed a 40" Samsung television valued at $427.99, from the shelf and walked to the front of the store. He stood in line for a few minutes but then exited the store without paying for it.
The suspect ran across the parking lot and put the television into a silver, 2009-2013 Kia Soul, and took off in an unknown direction.
If you have any idea who this suspect is, please contact Detective Pautz at 863-298-6200 or email apautz@polksheriff.org.
