BREAKING: Newnan man arrested after allegedly stealing the entire Dollar General.
Not “robbed the register.”
Not “shoplifted some batteries.”
Authorities say the man successfully removed every single item from the store, including the shelves, shopping baskets, and one employee’s emotional support Bluetooth speaker.
Investigators say the theft went unnoticed for nearly 11 hours, as employees reportedly “never once looked up from their phones.” One worker allegedly thought the empty building was “part of a remodel.”
Coweta deputies finally caught the suspect while he was unloading the entire Dollar General inventory into his home in rural Senoia. Witnesses described seeing the man carrying toilet paper, off-brand cereal, seasonal flip flops, and approximately 9,000 discontinued phone chargers down Highway 16.
The suspect reportedly told deputies he “didn’t think anyone would notice,” which, according to investigators, was accurate for most of the day.
