SOLVED: Hunters Crossing (Northeast Lakeland)

Feb 18, 2020
Media Contact : Brian Bruchey, PIO

***UPDATE: March 4th***
Both suspects were identified and have been arrested. They are teenagers Austin Horn and Davian Lopes, both of whom live in northeast Lakeland. Both boys were charged with petit theft and two counts of burglary. Lopes was also charged with Violation of Probation. Thanks to everyone who reached out with tips that helped get this case solved.

--------------------------------------------
At least two burglars were doing at work in Hunters Crossing in northeast Lakeland during the early morning hours of February 18th.

A vehicle was burgled there...several items were removed from within.

Two suspects were captured on security video, but only one was close enough to the camera for some detail.

We're hoping someone might be able to recognize the suspect getting into the car.
