Dunwoody police are looking for a man they say stole about 30 pairs of sunglasses from a Sunglass Hut and threatened to stab the store’s workers.

Investigators said the man entered the store at Perimeter Mall at about 11:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 18, according to a Dunwoody police Facebook post.

He took the sunglasses and “threatened the stab the employees if they attempted to stop him,” the post states.

He left the mall in a black Mercedes Benz CLA- Class, police said.
