POLK COUNTY, Fla. – A swift response from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) Aviation Unit and K-9 team led to the apprehension of two suspects following an attempted car burglary in Davenport on Tuesday night.
At around 9:15 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the Atlantica Town Center neighborhood off of Old Lake Wilson Road after a report of an attempted burglary of a conveyance.
