The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety is asking its citizens to help officers identify a suspect wanted in connection to commercial burglaries in its jurisdiction.

The suspect on Dec. 17, 2014, and March 10 of this year allegedly burglarized a commercial business office complex in the city.

Spokesperson George Gordon said the suspect typically walks into the business and looks around for office suites.

“Once a targeted suite is identified, he uses a screwdriver to pry open the door if locked,” he added.

Once inside, the suspect allegedly steals laptop computers. In one instance, the suspect walked into a targeted business and “wedged a piece of plastic between the door and the frame so he could facilitate an after-hours burglary,” Gordon stated.

Gordon noted the man is also a suspect in two additional commercial burglaries, one of which occurred in Sandy Springs.
