He was seen on surveillance video crawling around on his belly inside a restaurant as police said he robbed the establishment. Gwinnett County Police said they are still trying to identify that man, but said investigators now know the man who helped him get away.

Surveillance cameras captured the burglar crawling around inside the I Luv Pho restaurant on Jimmy Carter Boulevard in unincorporated Norcross during the early morning hours of Jan. 6. Police said the man smashed the front window and spent two hours crawling around inside the restaurant.

He eventually stole the safe, police said and met another man outside, loaded the safe into a red Toyota Yaris with a Mickey Mouse decal in the rear window, and took off.

Officers have since been able to identify the second man as Brice Hayes, 33, of Lilburn.

Police said the pair made off with about $1,000 which was inside the safe.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers.
