He made off with $7,430, according to the incident report.

Gwinnett Police spokesperson Cpl. Michele Pihera said due to media coverage of the case, the lead detective was able to make the arrest after receiving tips.

A search warrant was served on Kelley’s residence, uncovering “numerous items of evidentiary value ... including a large sum of cash,” Pihera said in the news release.
