The individual, described as a white male aged between 50 and 60 years old, is someone the detective wishes to speak with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone with relevant information regarding this theft is urged to contact Detective Knight at 863-577-1600 or BKnight@polksheriff.org.
