Residential burglary in unincorporated Lakeland

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a burglary case and is hoping someone recognizes the two suspects in this video.
Shortly before midnight on April 13th, two unknown males burglarized a residence in the Twin Cedar Lane area in unincorporated Lakeland. As you can see in the video, the two enter the victim’s back yard and then open the patio screen door. They broke the sliding glass door, possibly triggering the alarm, because they then run from the residence.
An early 2000s model four-door silver Toyota Camry or Toyota Corolla was seen in the area around the same time and could possibly be the vehicle the suspects were driving.
If anyone recognizes the two suspects, the vehicle, or has any information that might be helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Colletti at 863-577-1631 (reference case #21-15545).
If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Heartland Crime Stoppers: * Call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477) * From your cell phone, dial **TIPS * Or visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," * Or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet. You will always remain anonymous when you send a tip through Crime Stoppers and you are eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.
