Woodstock Police Hunt Suspects in Theft, Fraud Cases

The Woodstock Police Department is asking the public to help them identify suspects involved in two cases they are investigating.

The agency needs assistance in identifying the suspect in connection to a felony theft by taking case that took place on Oct. 22 at LA Fitness on Eagle Drive.

According to the agency’s press release, an “unidentified black male” allegedly stole five Apple iPhones from patrons while they played basketball at the fitness center.

The victims said the man appeared to be around 5 feet, 10 inches, weighed 170 pounds and had short black hair. Surveillance video at the facility showed the suspect appeared to be traveling in a late model white Toyota Camry or Avalon. Woodstock police also believe the man has allegedly committed similar crimes in Cobb County.

Another case involves four people — Jordan Holt-May, Timothy Zacharie, an unidentified black male and an unidentified black female — allegedly making fraudulent charges at SuperTarget and Publix using ”cloned” USAA and Barclay credit cards, Woodstock police said.

Both Holt-May and Zacharie have been arrested and charged, but the unidentified black male and female remain at large.

To date, Woodstock police’s Criminal Investigations Unit has identified 17 victims and roughly $5,500 worth of fraudulent charges in connection to the crime. Woodstock police also believe these suspects have allegedly perpetuated similar crimes in other jurisdictions.

The suspects are believed to be traveling in a 2008 bronze Acura TL bearing Georgia tag # BTS4166. The car possibly has damage to the driver side rear quarter panel.

Anyone with information on these cases is asked to call the Woodstock Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit at 770-592-6000 ext. 1143.
