Marietta Police are investigating a series of thefts at local Target stores involving two serial shoplifters. Officers say one suspect, 29-year-old Ryan Kingston, of Dacula, is now in police custody in Atlanta. But, they are still searching for Kingston's accomplice.

Investigators say the two men shoplifted computer hard drives from nine metro Atlanta area Target stores and possibly other stores.

The thefts occurred when Kingston and another unidentified white male entered stores together and walked back to the electronics section a of the store.
