Crime Stoppers
Polk City burglary of a gas station
Jan 5, 2021
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO
On Tuesday, January 5th, at about 2:15 am, these two suspects broke into the Gas station/Convenience store at 501 Commonwealth Avenue in Polk City.
The bad news is that the bad guys caused damage to the front door and then made off with cigarettes, vape pens, and lotto tickets.
The good news is that they not only left behind some good evidence, but also the store owner has some great video.
Both suspects appear to be white males. One of the suspects is wearing a gray hoodie with "Class of 11" on it.
Anybody recognize this type of hoodie? Know what school had hoodies like this? Better yet----recognize either or both of these guys?
