Man Arrested, Accused of Backseat Hiding

BUFORD, GA -- Just over a day after a woman reported discovering a stranger in her car's backseat outside the TJ Maxx in Buford, Gwinnett County Police say they have their man.

Anthony Flor, 25, of Atlanta, was in the Gwinnett County Jail on Thursday, charged with Entering Motor Vehicle With Intent to Commit a Theft or Felony.

A woman reported to police that, on Tuesday at about 6 p.m., she was returning to her car after shopping when she looked in her rearview mirror and saw an unknown man looking at her from the backseat.

The man was crouched down behind the front passenger seat, a police news release said.

The victim began to yell for someone to call 911. The man got out of her car and got into the vehicle beside her -- a grey or silver passenger car -- and drove off.

In a release Thursday, police said that their investigation, including gathering fingerprints from the woman's car, led them to Flor's home in Atlanta.

Flor voluntarily came to the Gwinnett County Police Department for an interview, during which police say they gathered enough information to charge him.

He was transported from the interview to Gwinnett County Jail.
