Wallet theft
Dalton police are trying to find a man who took a wallet containing more than $400 after it was left on a counter in a convenience store.
The incident happened about noon on March 30 at a convenience store at 1002 Underwood St. The victim bought a lottery ticket, left his wallet on the counter as he put the ticket into his shirt pocket and walked out.
The next man in line is the suspect, a Hispanic man wearing a white collared short-sleeve shirt and tan or khaki-colored pants. The suspect didn't take the wallet as he left the store, but the third customer in line, assuming it belonged to the suspect, followed him out and handed him the wallet.
When the victim realized he'd left his wallet behind, he returned to the store.
Anyone with information on the incident or the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Officer Brandon Daugherty at 706-278-9085, ext. 255.
