LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett County Police believe they have identified a man who broke into a Taco Bell on Christmas Day, cooked a meal, took a nap and then left with tablet and laptop.
The lead detective in the case identified the burglary suspect as 26-year-old Stephaun Gallaread.
Gallaread is a former employee who worked at the restaurant in the summer of 2019. He has been charged with one count of Burglary 2nd Degree.
Gallaread is not yet in custody, but we encourage him to turn himself in to the Gwinnett County Jail.
According to the Gwinnett County Police Dept., at about 12:15 a.m. Dec. 25, a man approached the Taco Bell at 4880 Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville and entered through the drive-thru window.
After he enters, he is seen on surveillance using the fryers to make himself a meal and then ate it. Following that, he can be seen taking a nap on the restaurant floor. Prior to leaving about three hours later, the suspect stole a laptop and tablet.
