N. Combee Road: Attempted burglary

Jun 2, 2020
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

On Tuesday, June 2nd at about two o’clock in the morning, three young men were up to no-good on Combee Road North in Lakeland.

Our unknown suspects attempted to break into a very secure business and failed, but not before causing expensive damages to the building.

Video captured three suspects, but it appears a fourth person may have been involved as a getaway driver. A silver car appeared on the security video a few times.

If you recognize any of the men or their car, or you have some information about the case that may prove helpful to the investigation, please contact Detective Bolin at 863-236-3900 (reference case #20-22134), or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.Suspects and suspect vehicle
