A Lowe’s shoplifting suspect has been tracked down thanks to his distinctive tattoos.
Joshua David Harmon, 45, of Leesburg, was picked up earlier this month in Lake County on a Sumter County warrant charging him with grand theft.
Harmon went to the Lowe’s on U.S. Hwy. 441 in Lady Lake on the morning of April 30 and loaded a shopping cart with a griddle, a rechargeable LED mosquito repellant device, knives, Gatorade and plants. He left without paying for the merchandise and headed for a black Ford F-150 super duty truck.
He was confronted in the parking lot by a loss prevention officer. Harmon abandoned the shopping cart and fled the scene.
The loss prevention officer was able to identify Harmon, thanks in part to his distinctive tattoos.
A warrant was issued for this arrest and he was taken into custody in Lake County.
In 2022, Harmon was arrested for grand theft auto.
