Sheriff Grady Judd

Recognize the couple in this video?

A Polk County detective is trying to identify them in a vehicle burglary and fraud case that is currently under investigation. 

Sometime on January 4, 2021, the victim’s vehicle was burglarized. The thief or thieves took her purse, which contained cash, debit and credit cards, and a bank checkbook, from within the vehicle.

The very next day, on January 5th, one of the suspects in the video tried to use one of the victim’s credit cards at a Lakeland Target (4005 US 98 North) – attempting to charge $426.93 during a transaction that was thankfully declined.
