Atlanta police Tuesday were investigating an overnight smash-and-grab burglary at a West End clothing store.

The incident happened about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at The Athlete's Foot in the 500 block of Lee Street.

A male suspect was seen on video throwing a brick through a window, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones told the AJC.

"Once the window shattered, the male stuck his arm through the broken window and retrieved two coats," Jones said.

The suspect later returned "and was observed coming through the same window, this time coming into the business, going to the rear of the store and taking two Adidas jackets from a rack," Jones said.
