POLICE LOOKING FOR TONER THIEVES TARGETING THE ATLANTA AREA
The search is on for several thieves who’ve targeted office supply stores all over metro Atlanta.
Investigator
James Barnett with the Atlanta Police Department tells WSB they began
investigating after getting calls from loss prevention officers from
Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples about large amounts of ink
cartridges and toners being stolen.  Three or four well-dressed Hispanic
men would hit stores in Clayton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties and the
cities of Atlanta, Douglasville, Fayetteville, McDonough, and
Roswell.”Basically, distracting employees, collecting a bunch of toner
cartridges, putting them in boxes that they have at the Office Depot and
taking them out,” said Barnett. The suspects, who are in and out of the
store in less than ten minutes, were seen leaving in a newer model
white Dodge Caravan, possibly a rental, and have gotten away with some
$16,000 worth of merchandise. The group is believed to based out of
Florida.
