The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating a tortilla theft.
On Sunday, February 9th, an employee arrived at work at a small business in the downtown area of the Fort Meade and discovered that their overnight deliveries had been messed with, fresh tortillas had been stolen from it.
A review of security video showed that the theft occurred at about 5:25 that morning, and it could have been worse. The thief tried, and tried, but was not able to lift the entire shipment. So, it was opened up. About half of the tortillas were stolen, a theft worth about $41.
The security video shows a red Ford SUV (either an Explorer or Expedition) with a New York Yankees license plate on the front.
