Dalton police are looking for a man and woman who they say stole more than $1,000 worth of electronics.

According to a news release, the unidentified man and woman coordinated the theft from the Academy Sports and Outdoors store on Shugart Avenue. On the evening of Aug. 31, the man stuffed the items inside some clothes, brought them into a fitting room and then stripped them out of their packages. He then gave the items to the woman, who hid them in her pink purse before walking out of the store.

The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, wore a gray polo shirt and a black Nike hat atop his shaved head. The woman wore a white tanktop and jeans. She appeared to be in her late 30s or early 40s.

The two drove off together in a maroon two-door sedan.

Anyone with information about the incident can call Detective Matthew Lowery at 706-278-9085, extension 133.
