Investigators are searching for the man seen in the video - a white male wearing a white hat and blue-gray Timberland logo t-shirt, khaki shorts, and black flip flops - in connection with a vehicle break-in at Saul Raisin Bike Park.

The Dalton Police Department is looking for a man suspected of breaking into a vehicle and stealing a purse that contained a wallet, three credit cards, a gift card and cash.

After breaking into a car on July 17 at Saul Raisin Bike Park at Raisin Way and Brooker Drive, the suspect later used the credit card at a Kangaroo gas station on Cleveland Highway, police said.

The break-in occurred between 7-8 p.m. and the victims discovered the theft after returning from the bike trails, police said.

Anyone with any information on this suspect is asked to contact Detective Brandon Carter at 706-278-9085, ext. 183.
