CRIME: PETIT THEFT FROM A MERCHANT
CRIME SCENE: NAGOYA SUSHI & HIBACHI - 
1100 CHAMPIONS DRIVE, DAVENPORT
POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CASE #25-21301


On May 23, 2025, at about 6:30 pm, a man had entered to use the restroom at Nagoya Sushi & Hibachi restaurant in Davenport. As he was leaving, he took a to-go order that did not belong to him. The value of the theft was $47.85.

PCSO detectives are hoping that someone will recognize the white male (wearing gray shirt and black shorts) in this video, and share that information, so a detective can speak with him about this case.

The man has a tattoo on his right bicep and a tattoo sleeve on his left arm.

THE VIDEO FOR THIS CAN BE SEEN HERE

If you have any information about this case or you recognize this person, please contact Detective Pennell at 863-236-3900 or email APennell@polksheriff.org.
