Dalton Police Department identified a man suspected of stealing an iPhone from a Hardee’s on East Walnut Avenue. The suspect was recorded on the restaurant’s surveillance system in a incident on March 13 at 9:30 a.m.
Thanks to a flood of emails and calls, the suspect was identified. His name will be released as soon as he is charged.
A customer left his iPhone 6S with a gray and white otterbox case on a windowsill next to the table where he was eating his breakfast. When the man got up to leave, he left his phone behind.
After the customer left, another man who had been seated at a table nearby then moved to the table vacated by the victim. He took the phone and left the restaurant shortly after.
When the victim returned to the store to find his phone missing, he attempted to track the cellphone via the “Find My iPhone” feature,” but the device had been turned off.
