Serial burglar with distinctive gait hits businesses in Coweta County

NEWNAN, Ga. - Coweta County investigators are looking for a burglar who broke into six businesses last week, many of them restaurants.

One of the restaurants hit was the Golden Krust located along State Road 34. When the deputies arrived, they soon learned their thief had made a busy night of it.

"While on-scene there, they discovered that a business in the same location was also burglarized, and as it would turn out, multiple businesses in the area, some in Newnan PD’s jurisdiction was also broken into," said Coweta County Sheriff’s Sgt. Toby Nix.

Surveillance footage of the man investigators are trying to identify. It shows him wearing a hood and mask. Investigators say the way he walks may be recognizable to someone out there.

"The video of the male walking away from one of the businesses with a cash register, he does appear to have a distinctive gait. We’re hoping someone in the community can recognize that and let us know who it is," said Sgt. Nix.
