An Auburn man lost a car window and $2,600 during a May 18 car break-in at the Hamilton Mill Home Depot.

The victim withdrew $2,600 from the Wells Fargo Bank on Hamilton Creek Parkway at approximately 10:40 a.m. Once he returned to his gray Dodge Ram, he counted the money and placed it in the center console. The victim them withdrew a small amount of cash from the Wells Fargo ATM and drove over to the Home Depot.

The victim parked his vehicle and went inside to shop. When he returned to his vehicle 20 minutes later, he discovered the window had been smashed and the $2,600 in cash had been taken. Nothing else in the truck had been disturbed according to the police report.

The video surveillance cameras at Home Depot do not cover the area of the parking lot where the victim parked. Wells Fargo was asked to review their video footage to see if any clues as to the identity of the perpetrator can be found.

The case is listed as active.
