Store says three suspects stole $2,400 in candles

MILTON, Ga. — An employee at Bath & Body Works on Ga. 9 reported to police Oct. 16 that three suspects stole nearly $2,400 in candles. 

The employee said the suspects walked into the store with empty bags, filled them and walked out without paying. A total of 89 candles were reported stolen, according to the police report.

The store manager had taken a photo of the suspects’ vehicle, a black Hyundai Tuscon. But, police were unable to identify a tag number when searching the Flock camera system using the vehicle’s description.

The manager told police as the suspects fled the store, she said to them, “I hope you enjoy those candles,” and that one of the suspects responded with, “Oh, we will.”
