Crime Stoppers

Please identify this man

Oct 11, 2019
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

On October 11th, at about 5:00 p.m., a woman and her small child shopped at Green's Market on Avenue G in Winter Haven. 

While mom was selecting meats, the child dropped mom's purse on the floor, and mom was unaware. As she continued through the store, her purse was left behind.

A short time later, a man noticed the purse on the floor, and picked it up. In security video, the man appears to remove money from the purse. That man turned the purse over to store employees, and it contained no money.

Our victim said there was a good bit of money that's missing. Our detective would now like to speak to that man.

Attached is a clear image of the man and his truck. If you recognize either, or have any information that might be helpful to this investigation, please contact Detective Kinsey at 863-297-1100, or to remain anonymous, contact Heartland Crime Stoppers - call 1-800-226 TIPS (8477), visit the website www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com and click on "Submit A Tip," or download the free "P3tips" app on your smartphone or tablet.Picture of suspect and truck
