Detectives from the Polk County Sheriff's Office are trying to identify the man in this video in reference to a petit theft.
The theft occurred on February 23rd, shortly before 5:00 a.m. in Lakeland at Nick and Moe's gas station.
As you can see in the video, the suspect walks around the store, continually watching the front of the store before grabbing three 24-packs of Heineken beer. The suspect then squats down behind a merchandise display to make sure no one is watching before quickly exiting the store with the stolen beer.
He drove away in a grey vehicle (possible a Nissan) with a Florida license plate of 579-PZB.
If you recognize this man, please contact Detective Marshall at 863-577-1625 (reference case #21-8269).
