Crime Stoppers

Harborside delivery truck burglarized

Jan 15, 2019
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

The Polk County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify two men who are believed to have been involved in a burglary and theft on January 15th at around 2:30 pm, at Harborside Restaurant in Winter Haven.

A delivery man stopped to make a delivery at the restaurant. As he returned to his truck, he saw two men walking nearby, and thought they were acting oddly. Then the victim noticed his wallet and cellphone were missing from his truck. He looked back to the two men and saw them running off in the distance.

Detectives are trying to identify these two men so they can speak with them to determine if they did or did not have anything to do with the theft.

If you think you know these two men, or you have any information regarding this investigation, please call Detective Prue at 863-297-1149, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for cash rewards for information leading to an arrest, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS (8477) or visit www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com.
