Two white males who allegedly broke into a video game machine on two separate occasions, stealing almost $150, are sought for questioning by the Dalton Police Department. The machine belongs to the Walmart at 2545 E. Walnut Ave.
On June 17 at approximately 10:45 p.m. and also on another unspecified date, the subjects used a type of pry bar to break into the coin box of the game. They left in a small white vehicle with either a black top or a convertible top.
Anyone with information on the identity of these men or the thefts is asked to call Detective John Helton with the Dalton Police Department at (706) 278-9085, extension 143, or Detective Eric Burnette with the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office at (706) 278-1233.

Photo released of jewelry theft suspect
The Dalton Police Department released a picture of one of the men who allegedly ripped off an area jewelry store of about $7,500 in a “bait and switch” style theft on Saturday. The theft happened at Casa Blanca’s Jewelry. The suspect pictured, who identified himself as Luis Solis and presented an apparently fake Nevada driver’s license, also posed for a picture for the store clerk during the transaction. Dalton’s pawn broker ordinance requires all sellers to be photographed by the store. The two suspects were described as Hispanic males with slightly heavyset/stocky builds. Both wore jeans, with one man wearing a dark blue polo shirt with white stripes and the other wearing a lighter blue or white shirt. One suspect had a ponytail and facial hair.
