A witness saw something and immediately said something in the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 26, 2025, and as a result, two men were arrested by deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

The deputies were dispatched to May Grove Village off of Gibsonia-Galloway Road in Lakeland at around 3:00 am, and they located the golf cart that the two men were fleeing in.

21-year old Bradley Shaw and 20-year old Caiden Kirkland (both of Lakeland) were detained for the investigation.

The deputies recovered gloves, a mask, and a hoodie that was discarded from the suspects as they were fleeing. 

Both were arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail, and each was charged with: Unarmed burglary of an occupied dwelling (3 counts) (mask enhancement), trespassing (2 counts), loitering and prowling (6 counts), conspiracy to commit burglary, possession of burglary tools, tampering with physical evidence, resisting arrest without violence, burglary of a conveyance, petit theft 2nd offense, and unlawful possession of personal identification.
