Alpharetta police said the thieves, a man and a woman, will rent a room to steal the televisions. They pay with cash and use a fraudulent driver’s license for identification.
(From a CBSAtlanta.com article)Â Â A couple is stealing flat screen televisions from Alpharetta hotels, police said Thursday.
“It’s very frustrating because we put a lot of money and energy into the hotel, and somebody just checks in and decides to take it,” said Tracey Cox.
Cox is the manager of a Hampton Inn in Alpharetta that had two flat screens stolen this past weekend.
Alpharetta police said the thieves, a man and a woman, will rent a room to steal the televisions. They pay with cash and use a fraudulent driver’s license for identification.
Just hours before Cox’s hotel was hit, the thieves targeted another Hampton Inn in Alpharetta stealing three televisions. Alpharetta police said they’re also investigating if the couple is responsible for similar burglaries in other area cities.
The man and woman’s images were clearly captured on hotel surveillance cameras. Police have identified the woman and are looking for her. However, they’re asking for the public’s help identifying and locating the man.
“We want to prevent this from happening at other hotels, and we want to get the bad guy, because that’s a crime,” said Cox.
