Atlanta Police Looking for Buckhead Office Creeper Burglar

The suspect has committed at least 30 office burglaries in the Atlanta area, but that number may be as high as 50.

Atlanta Police are looking for a man they believe has committed at least 30 burglaries in offices throughout Buckhead, downtown Atlanta, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs.

Police are calling him the Office Creeper because of his ability to slip in to office buildings and slip out just as quickly with laptops before being noticed, WSB-TV reports.

The suspect, Ricky Turner, is using a backpack to easily snatch the laptops and Kindles. Turner has been arrested more than 40 times, according to the station's report.
