Police identify man who broke into Taco Bell, made a meal and took a nap
One burglar may have been too full to make a quick getaway after he broke in and ate some late night snacks at Taco Bell.
The Gwinnett County Police Department in Lawrenceville, Georgia shared photos and surveillance video of a suspect who broke into the fast food restaurant around 12:15 a.m. on Dec. 25, in hopes of tracking down the hungry, sleepy thief.
The suspect shimmied through the drive-thru window, but didn't appear to be too worried about getting caught.
"After he makes entry, he is seen on surveillance using the fryers to make himself a meal and then eats," police said in a statement on Wednesday.
He then laid down and curled up for a nearly three hour nap, police added, before he eventually fled the scene, stealing a laptop and tablet before he left, police said.
The lead detective in the case later identified the suspect as Stephaun Gallaread, 26, according to the Gwinnett County Police Department
Gallaread was a former employee who worked at the restaurant in the summer of 2019, police said. He has been charged with one count of second-degree burglary.
He is not yet in custody but police have encouraged him to turn himself in to the Gwinnett County jail.
If anyone has any information to share in this case, please contact GCPD detectives or contact Crime Stoppers.
