Target provided surveillance video showing him leaving the store.

Detectives have identified the suspect as Jarmal N. Brown, of Sandy Creek, Georgia.

A warrant for his arrest has been obtained charging him with grand theft and burglary, with bail set at $52,000.

The car is a 2010 Nissan Altima with Georgia tag # QFD3744.
