Police in Dalton, Ga., are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man investigators say took $600 cash accidentally dropped at the RaceTrac gas station at 1907 Chattanooga Road.
The theft happened Jan. 12 between 9:15 and 10:15 p.m., according to a police news release. Store surveillance shows the victim entering the men’s room and then leaving the store a short time later.
When he realized he’d accidentally dropped the cash, he contacted the store, but employees were unable to find the money. Surveillance video shows the suspect entering the bathroom shortly before 10 p.m. and exiting minutes later. At one point, he is seen on video counting money before leaving.
The suspect is a white male who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s with close-cropped hair. He wore a black pullover and black sweatpants.
Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call Detective Matthew Lowery at 706-278-9085, dial 9 and enter extension 133.
