A theft occurred on Monday, September 23rd at the Tobacco & Vape store at 4672 CR 540A East in Lakeland.
According to the store, a white female (5’7”, brown hair, brown eyes, and big eyebrows) asked to see a container of Sunset CBD gummies. The employee obliged, and then turned her attention to the girl’s male companion.
The store said that while the employee was helping the man, the girl placed the gummies into her bag, then left without paying for the $32 gummies.
We’re hoping someone can help identify the female or even the male, so our detectives can 
speak with them about this case. If you recognize one or both, please contact Detective Bolin at 863-499-2400, or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
