Dalton police are searching for a man who allegedly stole a woman's wallet that contained $3,200 in cash, according to a DPD news release.

The victim told police she had recently cashed her income tax return check and left her wallet in a shopping cart at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on West Walnut Avenue. Shortly after she pulled away in her car, she realized her wallet was missing and returned to the parking lot, but she could not find her wallet.

Store security cameras show a man wearing a blue t-shirt and a red and black baseball cap taking the wallet out of the cart before getting into a dark colored passenger sedan. Store employees recognized the suspect as a regular customer and said that he's known for usually wearing a Shaw hat in the store, but they do not know his name.

Anyone who recognizes this man is asked to please contact Detective Brian Shirley at 706-278-9085, extension 9189.
