Polk County Sheriff's Robbery detectives are seeking the public's help in an armed robbery that occurred at Harvest Meat Market, located at 4441 Old Kathleen Road in Lakeland.
Around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, 2019, two black males armed with semi-automatic handguns entered through the rear unlocked door and forced the employees, who were closing up shop for the evening, into the walk-in freezer.
The suspects were both wearing hoodies - one of which has "Just Do It" across the back and the Nike swoosh logo on the front. Their faces were covered and they were wearing gloves. One was carrying a blue backpack.
After the robbery, they fled in a silver newer-model Kia Sportage, as seen in video surveillance.
If anyone has information about this robbery, they are urged to contact Detective Hewett at 863-298-6960.
