Polk County Sheriff's Office robbery detectives are seeking the public's help to identify three armed home invasion suspects.
At 2:17 a.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2019, the suspects kicked in the front door of the home, located in the 2800 block of Eaton Avenue in Lakeland. They woke up the adults and children in the home, and demanded money at gunpoint. After the robbery, the three suspects fled in a white four-door car, possibly a Nissan or Hyundai.
Two of the suspects were described as black males, both armed with handguns. One suspect was slender, wearing blue pajama pants, a black hoodie, and something covering his face. The other suspect was heavyset, wearing a white T-shirt, pulled up over his face. The third suspect, unknown race, is seen on video surveillance wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants, and with a full sleeve of tattoos on his right arm, including a dollar sign tattoo.
If anyone has information about this armed home invasion, they are urged to contact the PCSO Robbery Unit at 863-298-6379 or 863-298-6200.
