keep an eye out. “The van has been described as a white van with a blue logo on the side and bubbles. This could possibly be a pool cleaning company,” the GPPD posted on Facebook on Tuesday. “The van is similar in style to those used by Amazon delivery, such as a Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter or Ram Promaster.” The driver was described as a white male with dark hair and a dark
beard and was seen travelling westbound on 26th Avenue South immediately after the incident. “There have been no leads in this case at this time,” GPPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Thomas Woodman told the Gabber on Wednesday, October 27. Anyone with information is asked to contact dispatch at 727-582-6177 and request to speak to a patrol officer regarding case GP21-19670.
