A man accused of hiding in a woman's car as she shopped at a Buford T.J. Maxx earlier this week turned himself into police Thursday, police said.

Anthony Flor, 25, of Atlanta has been charged with entering a motor vehicle with the intent to commit a theft or felony, Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said in a news release.

On Wednesday, witness Holly Mulcay, who called 911 after the incident, told Channel 2 Action News that as the victim made an effort to stop him Flor never said a word.

“He didn't steal anything. He could have. She had stuff all in her car. My thoughts are he was after her,” Mulcay told  Channel 2. “Why would he be hiding down crouched in the back?”

Police were able to locate Flor at his Atlanta home after collecting fingerprints from the victim's car and scouting possible locations of the grey Ford  spotted by witnesses Tuesday.

Flor voluntarily came to the Gwinnett County Police Department for an interview Thursday. He was later transported to the Gwinnett County Jail.
