Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives are requesting the public’s help in identifying three suspects involved in an early morning armed home invasion robbery Saturday.
According to PCSO, three men kicked in the front door of a home on the 2800 block of Eaton Avenue in Lakeland at 2:17 a.m., waking up the adults and children inside. Once in the home, the invaders demanded money at gunpoint. After the robbery, they fled in a white four-door car, possibly a Nissan or Hyundai.
The Sheriff’s Office obtained surveillance video from the outside of the home.
Two of the suspects are described as black males, both armed with handguns. One was slender, wearing blue pajama pants, a black hoodie and something covering his face. The other suspect was heavyset, wearing a white T-shirt that was pulled over his face. And the third suspect, unknown race, is seen on video surveillance wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants and had a “full sleeve” of tattoos on his right arm, including a dollar sign tattoo, according to reports.
Anyone with information about the armed home invasion is asked to call the PCSO Robbery Unit at 863-298-6379 or 863-298-6200.
