Two men broke into a Lululemon store in Peachtree City just after 6 a.m. on July 25, smashing through the glass entrance door and clearing out roughly $17,000 in merchandise in a matter of minutes. Nearly two weeks later, both suspects remain at large and police are asking the public for help identifying them.
The operation began more than an hour before the break-in. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, at approximately 5:02 a.m. the two men stole a license plate in McDonough without the owner's consent and attached it to a 2020 or newer gunmetal gray Nissan Altima with tinted windows — a move designed to obscure the car's real identity. At 6:22 a.m., that same vehicle arrived at the Peachtree City Lululemon.
Photos released by the Peachtree City Police Department show one of the men breaking through the store's glass door. What followed was fast.

Police have released detailed descriptions of both men, apparently drawn from security footage. The first suspect was wearing Adidas jogging pants, gray sneakers, and a black hoodie. The second is described as tall and slender, with braids extending past his waist, and was dressed in a notably distinctive outfit: an orange-and-white Von Dutch ball cap, a dress shirt with a bow tie, white suspenders, dress pants, and patent leather dress shoes.

As of the reports published August 6, police have not released the names of either suspect. Fox 5 Atlanta reported that investigators have not confirmed whether the stolen merchandise or the getaway vehicle have been located.
Anyone who recognizes either suspect, the vehicle, or has any information about the theft is asked to contact Detective Michelle Taylor directly at mtaylor@peachtree-city.org.
Why it matters — A planned smash-and-grab that began with a license plate theft across county lines points to a coordinated effort — and with both suspects still unidentified, Peachtree City police are relying on the public to break the case.
