Milton Police, Crimestoppers Seek Dollar Tree Thief

Do you know this man? The Milton Police Department and Crimestoppers Atlanta are asking for help identifying a suspect who broke into the Dollar Tree on Ga. 9 in February.

Police are offering up to a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the suspect. He is described as a middle aged white man, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8, weighing about 230 to 250 pounds, according to a release today by Milton Detective S.W. Hewitt.

This suspect is wanted after being caught on security footage breaking into the Dollar Tree at the Deerfield Place shopping center on Feb. 11 at 11:20 p.m. He cut into the store's safe with what appears to be a Makita brand reciprocating saw and took all the cash inside.

The accompanying image is a still from the store's security camera.

This same man is wanted for an almost identical crime earlier in the year at the Dollar Tree in southern Forsyth County, which is also on Ga. 9 in the Grasslands Plaza shopping center.

Any information on the case can be submitted to anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online at www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or by texting "CSA" and the tip to CRIMES (274637). You do not have to give your name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000.
