Man Snatched Money From Counter At Convenience Store: Cops

CANTON, GA — The Cherokee Sheriff's Office wants to know if you can identify a man accused of stealing money from the counter of a convenience store.

The sheriff's office said Monday on its Facebook page that the male subject entered a store on Hickory Flat Highway around 4 p.m. July 20 and "played on the slot machines within the store."

After asking an employee for assistance with the machine, the man saw the employee empty the cash from the slot machine and placed it on the counter. When the employee wasn't looking, the man allegedly grabbed the cash and left the store, the sheriff's office added.
