Gwinnett County police have identified one suspect in the Jan. 6 burglary of a Norcross Vietnamese restaurant.

Brice Hayes, 33, of Lilburn, served as lookout and driver during the early morning robbery, police say. The suspect who allegedly broke into the I Luv Pho location on Jimmy Carter Boulevard and emerged with a safe two hours later has still not been identified. That suspect wore a surgical mask and a hoodie, obscuring all but his eyes.
