Burglars Cut Hole in Roof, Rob Target

BETHLEHEM, GA — Two burglars robbed a Target in Barrow County early Tuesday after cutting a hole in the roof and lowering themselves into a bathroom.

The break-in at the store in Bethlehem happened at about 1:50 a.m., according to Barrow County Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Ryan Sears.

After entering through the hole they created, the burglars broke into an ATM, taking an unknown amount of money.

They also stole four Galaxy tablets, valued at about $600, and a Drone backpack valued at about $150, Sears said.

A store manager arrived at 3:37 a.m., noticed the ATM destroyed and called 911.

Investigators say tools used to break into the ATM are consistent with other burglaries that have happened in middle Georgia, West Virginia and Tennessee.
