The search continues for three young men who broke through the glass, front door of a Radio Shack store in Winter Haven a week ago.

Now Winter Haven police are seeking the public's help to identify and find them.

The break-in occurred about 4:20 a.m. Sept. 2 at the Radio Shack at 1528 Third St. S.W. in Winter Haven, a Winter Haven Police Department statement said.

Three unknown black males, who appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s, busted out the store's glass door. Once they were in, one intruder ran to the back office area and the two others started grabbing items off the showroom shelves, including display phones.

The trio were in the store for less than two minutes. They were last seen running back out of the busted out part of the door.

The heads of two men were covered, but the third man's was not.

Winter Haven police are asking anyone with information on the identities of either of the men or their whereabouts to contact Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS or (8477). Callers can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward, authorities said.
