Man Breaks Into Vehicles While Parents Drop Kids Off At Daycare

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA — Gwinnett Police need the public’s help in identifying a man involved in a vehicle break-in and credit card fraud. On Jan. 25 the victim was dropping her child off at the Goddard School located at 5055 Peachtree Parkway in Peachtree Corners.

While parents were away from their vehicles, a black Nissan passenger car pulls in behind the vehicles. A man gets out of the rear driver’s side and looks in the vehicles. He uses a tool to smash the victim’s window and steals her purse and laptop. A short time later, the victim’s credit cards were fraudulently used at a Kroger located in Lilburn to charge over $1,000.

The suspect is described as a man with a thin build, wearing all black clothing, and black and white shoes. The man’s vehicle possibly had a Florida license plate.
