Polk County Sheriff's Robbery detectives are seeking the public's help to locate a serial robbery suspect who robbed bank in Clay County and Polk County the same week. He robbed a bank in Clay on Tuesday, October 9th, and a bank in Polk on Friday, October 12, 2018, in north Lakeland.

At 12:54 p.m. that afternoon, an unknown older white male suspect entered the TD Bank located at 6108 US Hwy 98 North in Lakeland and approached a teller, and passed her a note demanding money and implying that he was armed. The victim complied, and the suspect left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect was seen getting into a charcoal gray Ford F-150 truck, last seen leaving the north exit of the shopping plaza, and then heading south on US 98. The truck was possibly occupied by a female. 

The suspect was identified as 60-year-old Myron Ernst from South Carolina. He has a gray hair and a gray mustache, and was wearing a green shirt that says "Levi Strauss & Co" on it, blue jeans, and sneakers.

If anyone has information about this incident or knows where Myron Ernst is, they are urged to contact the PCSO Robbery Unit at 863-298-6379.
