Gwinnett County police are trying to identify a suspect in at least three Lilburn package thefts.

The thefts all occurred Dec. 7 between 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Packages were snatched from resident’s doorsteps, police said. One resident had a surveillance camera that captured images of a man taking a package.

The man was wearing a dark hoodie that appeared to have “HOOD” written across the chest. After taking the box from the front of the home, the suspect got into the passenger seat of a blue car that appeared to be a Honda Accord or a similar vehicle, police said.

He is also a suspect in a similar theft in Snellville.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact Gwinnett County detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Crime Stoppers tips may be rewarded with up to $2,000 if they lead to an arrest or indictment.
