This week Crime Stoppers is looking for help in identifying a man wanted in a business burglary at Best Plumbing at 4231 Bonny Oaks Dr.
On Nov. 28, 2007, sometime during the night the suspect entered the business by breaking out the front glass door. The suspect stole cash from a cash box and a desk drawer. He also stole the company’s Visa card which carried the owners name and business name. The suspect then took the credit card and made purchases at Kangaroo Market on Amnicola Highway, Murphy Gas station at Wal-Mart in Hixson and ABC Grocery at 2600 Harrison Pike.
The Wal-Mart in Hixson has provided a surveillance video which shows the suspect and a female making a $626.46 purchase of food and miscellaneous items.
The suspect is a black male who looks to be in his 30s or 40s. He is 5’7" and 160 pounds and is wearing a dark blue jogging suit with white stripes on the arms and legs. The female is wearing a white ball cap, brown coat, and gray pants with white tennis shoes.
This is not the first time this business has fallen victim to thieves. On Sept. 9, suspects entered the fenced-in area of the business and got into two work trucks that were sitting on the lot, stealing all the tools that were in the tool boxes.
On Jan. 6, suspects entered the lot and broke out all the windows on the work trucks that were parked.
There have been three incidents at this business in less than a month.
If you have any information on any of these crimes, call Crime Stoppers. Your confidential call could make you eligible for a cash reward for up to $1,000.
