Burglar throws rock through Norcross electronics store door, steals laptops
A burglar stole thousands of dollars in computers from a Norcross electronics store, police said.
Surveillance footage shows the man loading laptops into a bag at the CompuAtlanta store on Buford Highway, Channel 2 Action News reported.
The store’s windows are covered in metal bars to keep burglars out. Owner Jose Duque told Channel 2 the man got in by throwing a massive rock through the store’s front door.
Once the man was inside, he stole six laptops, six cellphones and about $100 in cash from a register.
The man then removed the burglar bar from the back door, unlocked it and walked out, the news station reported.
Police are still trying to locate the burglar. An investigation is ongoing.
