The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office needs the public’s assistance to identify two men who allegedly took more than $750 worth of alcoholic beverages from the Walgreens at 1930 Kings Highway last Thursday.
On Friday, July 12, Walgreens employees doing an inventory of the liquor store found that three cases of alcoholic beverages were unaccounted for. They replayed the store video and found that on the previous day between about 5:30 and 6:00 pm, two Black males had entered the store together. While one of the men went elsewhere in the store, the second man seemed to ask the clerk about merchandise behind the counter. While the clerk was distracted, the second man was seen signaling the first who wheeled a shopping cart with three cases of merchandise out of the store.
The Sheriff’s Office is attempting to identify the Black male in the dark colored shirt in one photo and the Black male in the plaid shirt and baseball hat in the second photo.
Anyone with information in this case is asked to please call the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office at (941) 639-2101, or Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477).
