North Lakeland: Stolen debit card

Apr 5, 2022
Media Contact : Carrie Horstman

On Monday, April 4, 2022, two victims parked at the veterinarian's office located at 6804 Socrum Loop Rd North in Lakeland had their vehicles burglarized. Cash was taken from one, and a debit card was taken from another. The stolen debit card was declined at Walmart on US Hwy 98 North the following day (April 5th).

Detectives responded to the Walmart and obtained this video surveillance footage, which shows a black male suspect wearing a Michael Kohrs hoodie, a mask, and glasses, attempting to use several different cards before leaving the store when his criminal intents were thwarted.

If anyone has information about this incident they are urged to contact Detective Wright at 863-577-1626 and reference case number 22-14218.
