The suspect truck will likely have damage to the right front passenger side headlight or turn signal lamp, and side mirror damage.

Burglary, Quick Mart,Lakeland
April 30, 2019
On Sunday, April 28th at around 4:23 AM, three unknown suspects broke into the Quick Mart at 4646 N. Combee Road in Lakeland. It would have been 4:17 AM, but for whatever reason, the suspects waited for six minutes before breaking in. True story. Maybe they were getting up the nerve to break in. Maybe they were doing Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who did what. Maybe one of them forgot their mask at home, so they had to MacGyver a mask out of a t-shirt.
They damaged the front door to get inside, then they commenced to doing even more damages in the store. The detectives didn’t tell us how much these three bandits got away with, but it’s our guess that the value of total damages caused by their massive ineptitude was far more than the value of the actual money they stole.
