The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating the theft of honey from Struthers' Honey in Lake Wales.
The business sells the honey on the honor system---the honey is in a small unstaffed room with bottles and jugs of honey on shelves. Each container is marked with the price, and the customer is asked to leave the proper amount of money behind by inserting the money into a slot.
On two occasions, a large amount of honey was taken without being fully paid for.
On July 6th, $373 worth of honey was taken after only $13 was left behind.
On July 14th, $420 worth of honey was taken after only $5 was left behind.
PCSO Detectives would like to identify the three people in the attached photo and speak with them.
If you recognize any or all of these people, please contact Detective Gaylord at 863-678-4115, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward leading to an arrest, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), online atwww.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.
