Police: Man broke into Perimeter Mall, stole nearly $7K in fragrances

Dunwoody police are searching for a suspected fragrance connoisseur accused of shooting his way into Perimeter Mall and stealing nearly $7,000 worth of cologne and perfume.

The burglary occurred two days after Christmas around 6:20 a.m., well before the mall opened, Dunwoody police said Wednesday in a Facebook post.

According to investigators, Carlos Rernard Taylor, 29, entered the mall after shooting out a glass door. Once inside, he’s accused of breaking into a kiosk and stealing an estimated $6,790 in fragrances before leaving.

Taylor is wanted on two counts of burglary and one count each of reckless conduct, fleeing and eluding, and possession of a firearm during theft, authorities said.

Anyone with information about the burglary or Taylor’s whereabouts is asked to call Detective Tim Waldron at 678-382-6911 or email him at tim.waldron@dunwoodyga.gov. Those wishing to remain anonymous are encouraged to submit their tips online.
