Florida police are asking residents of Polk County to help them locate a man who stole a foot-long sandwich.

While theft in any form is not taken lightly, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office took a lighthearted approach to the incident when sharing it on Facebook Monday.

“A sandwich thief walks among us, and Detective Leblanc is asking our Facebook Fans to help identify him,” the Polk County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a statement

“A sandwich thief walks among us, and Detective Leblanc is asking our Facebook Fans to help identify him,” the Polk County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a statement.


“Some of you may think we’re overdoing it by trying to identify the suspect of a relatively minor theft… one of you is probably even saying, ‘This is small potatoes!’ And to that, we would reply, ‘No… this was a foot-long sandwich, not potatoes. Pay attention!”

The statement went on to explain that the “sub crime” took place on Sunday, Nov. 25 at around 8:45 p.m. at Marathon Gas Station in Lakelandia.

Police said the suspect attempted to hide the sandwich in his pants.
