Polk County detectives want to track down two men, disguised as women, who put a clerk in a choke-hold during a robbery.
There are warrants for Omar McCrae and Malik Taylor of Tampa. Detectives say both were dressed as women when, along with a third person, they robbed a Lakeland Home Depot back in June, stealing hundreds of dollars’ worth of gift cards. They got aggressive with a 73-year-old store clerk in the process.
Thursday, they struck again. Video shows the two suspects putting a 69-year-old female clerk in a choke-hold as they activated stolen gift cards from a Winter Haven Home Depot.
