A Florida man is wanted for a lottery ticket and cigarette heist that happened at a gas station, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is working to identify a suspect who stole and cashed in the winning lottery tickets.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., on Monday, June 14, 2021, the suspect entered the Thornton’s gas station at 4103 Gunn Highway and stole two packs of lottery tickets.
The suspect then went to several convenience stores throughout the Tampa and Brandon area and cashed in the winning tickets.
‘”This man stole more than $1,500 in lottery tickets and cigarettes and mistakenly thought he was going to get away with it,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “His actions have serious consequences and our detectives are working to locate and arrest this man.”
The suspect was driving a black Dodge RAM pickup truck with a silver vertical stripe on the passenger rear side of the vehicle.
Anyone who has any information on the case or who has seen the suspect is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at (813) 247-8200
