Serial Shoplifting Suspect Targets Hardware Stores

Authorities are seeking the public’s help to catch a serial shoplifting suspect who they say has stolen thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from multiple Harbor Freight locations.

Gwinnett County Police say that Jared Pierce most recently took a dolly full of welders Sunday from Harbor Freight in Lawrenceville, walking right past an employee who tried to stop him.

Pierce has stolen from multiple Harbor Freights over the last 14 months, according to a statement Monday from the Gwinnett County Police Department. He typically targets welders, plasma cutters and generators during his thefts.
