A man cashed a stolen check at Dalton, Ga., business and the police want the public’s help in identifying him, according to a Dalton Police Department news release.
The check was reported stolen to the police department on May 30 by the owner of a local cleaning business. She said she wrote the check in the amount of $30 to one of her employees.
The employee later reported that the check had either been lost or stolen, possibly while he was working out at the Planet Fitness gym on Walnut Avenue sometime on May 24. Before canceling the check, the owner noticed that the check had been cashed on May 24 at Carneceria Nacho’s at 900 Underwood St.
A Dalton police officer viewed footage of the transaction on store surveillance. A Hispanic male in his late teens or early 20’s wearing a bright yellow Georgia Southern T-shirt presented the check and cashed it. He did not present an ID.
The suspect left the store in a late model Chevy Camaro, possibly black or dark green or blue in color. Neither the victim nor employees at Planet Fitness recognized the suspect.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to please contact Officer Soloman Douhne at 706-278-9085, dial 9 and enter extension 203. Officer Douhne can also be reached by email at sdouhne@cityofdalton-ga.gov.
