POLK COUNTY, FL- On Friday, January 10th, two people, a man and a woman, walked into a Family Dollar located in Mulberry with the intentions to steal from the store.

Sheriff Judd wrote, "The man walked around the store gathering nearly $500 worth of merchandise (like lots of Gain, Tide, and Clorox products) whilst the woman caused a distraction for employees by using the restroom ... without going to the restroom. The floor was her restroom. And an employee had to clear that ... stuff up."
