Can you see the difference? A laptop and receipt printer was taken from inside a van authorities claim was used to steal thousands of dollars in lumber. The two receipts on the left are fraudulent while the other three are legitimate.
Three men and a receipt printing machine are believed to be responsible for the theft of thousands of dollars worth of lumber from several Home Depots.
On Saturday, deputies responded to the Newnan Home Depot after receiving a report that a van used in a Peachtree City shoplifting incident was seen nearby.
Deputies located the van in the Academy parking lot with the rear door open and several boxes of flooring coming out of the back of the vehicle.
The three men inside the vehicle told deputies they were from Miami and were picking up materials to use at various job sites, according to the police report.
One of the men provided a receipt for 75 boxes of flooring, which showed to be from the Home Depot in Peachtree City and said he paid through the self-checkout. However, he could not provide a card that was used in the transaction, police said.
