The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating a theft which occurred on Vaughn Road (east of Bartow) on February 19th, at around 6:00 PM.
The suspects backed a newer model white Dodge 4-door pickup truck into the driveway of a residence. One of the suspects got out of the truck and took property from the yard. The vehicle then left the area.
PCSO detectives are hoping that someone recognize the truck, or better yet, the suspect (who appears to be a heavy-set white male).
If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Detective Mims at 863-678-4115 (Case #22-7706).

@swagger_seven First off, you clearly have no idea what doxing really means. Secondly, this is a repeat offender. Twice in one week even. You're own profile uses the quote, "If it can’t be fixed with discipline, knowledge, or torque then I’m not interested." Move along, Mikey.
