On the night of March 17th, a burglar alarm went off at a house in the Saratoga neighborhood off of Duff Road in northwest Lakeland.
A Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded along with a caretaker of the property, and initially, it appeared to be a false alarm.
The caretaker went back out to the property the following day and discovered that something definitely was wrong. A WiFi security camera had been stolen from within the lanai.
A PCSO detective was able to obtain security video from the neighborhood which shows two boys prior to the burglar alarm being activated. Following the burglar alarm, you can see the two boys running back down the street.
Please help the PCSO identify these individuals, so the detective can determine if they were involved with the burglary or not. If you have information helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Colletti at 863-577-1631 (reference case #20-13212), with any information you feel may be helpful to this case, 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.
