Matthew Aaron Rogers
The Dalton Police Department is looking for Matthew Aaron Rogers, 28, on warrants related to the theft of a motorcycle from a local title pawn business. Investigators are asking for information from the public regarding where he can be found.
The incident happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. on April 15, at National Title Pawn at 2522 East Walnut Avenue. A motorcycle that was parked in the lot behind the business was stolen, removed from the lot through a hole that was cut in the fence. A suspect, later identified as Rogers, can be seen on surveillance video entering the fenced-in area behind the business and entering unlocked cars in the lot. Investigators were unable to determine what, if anything, was taken from these cars. Then the suspect was recorded approaching the area where the motorcycle was parked and then was recorded riding out of the view of the camera on the bike.
Responding officers located and collected several tools near the hole in the fence including a hammer, a screwdriver, and electrical crimpers.
In the following days, Dalton detectives developed leads on the case and determined that Rogers was the person who stole the bike. Investigators obtained warrants for his arrest on charges of theft by taking of the motorcycle, burglary in the second degree, and criminal trespassing.
Rogers stands 5’9” tall and weighs 190 pounds. He has short reddish brown hair. A picture of Rogers is included with this report. The stolen motorcycle is a red and blue Kawasaki Ninja with Georgia tag TFT150. A picture of the motorcycle is also included with this release.
Anyone with information on this incident or the whereabouts of Matthew Aaron Rogers is asked to contact Detective Brian Shirley at 706 278-9085, extension 9189.
