Deputies Seek Help Finding Suspects Charged With Stealing Sunglasses From Solstice

Two shoppers trying on sunglasses at Solstice in the Westfield Brandon shopping mall did more than strike the pose as customers.

A surveillance video shows the two suspects, each wearing the sunglasses they tried on but didn't purchase, walk out of Solstice sunglasses boutique as thieves, according to a report filed by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Collectively, the suspects are charged with stealing $605 worth of merchandise Dec. 21 at approximately 3 p.m.

Deputies report that one pair of sunglasses was Gucci; the other, Prada.

Grand theft charges are pending for a white female, between the ages 22 and 29, with medium build, brown hair and approximately 130 pounds on her 5-foot-6 frame. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she was wearing blue jeans.

The second suspect, between the same ages, is described in the report as a 5-foot-7 male, approximately 150 pounds, with medium build and black hair.

Anyone with information about the suspects' identities or whereabouts is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.
