Three men are wanted for theft from the Best Buy store in Davenport (Posner Park) on Monday, August 26th at 3:00 in the afternoon.
The men walked in individually within one minute.
While Suspects 1 and 2 went to an aisle, Suspect 3 went to speak with an employee, creating a distraction.
Suspect 1 made several trips to where the home security systems were located. He would grab one, and take it to Suspect 2 who would remove an anti-theft device from the item then conceal it. This went on and on as Suspect 3 chatted up the employee.
Suspects 1 and 2 left the store with a lot of concealed valuable security equipment.
Suspect 3 left less than a minute later.
The suspects walked across the parking lot to a U-Haul truck and left the area.
All three of our suspects appear to be between the ages of 50-65 years old.
If you recognize any (or all three) of these men, or know anything helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Goodlet at 863-292-3393, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward leading to an arrest, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers 1-800-226-TIPS (8477) or www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
