ATLANTA — Atlanta police have arrested a man they say broke into an Atlanta Target earlier this month and tried to hide from police inside the store.

Surveillance video shows officers approach a broken window at the Target on Peachtree Road.

Officers walked into the store through the broken window and cleared the first floor.

After going up to the second floor, officers found Donell Houston, 39, laying on the floor in one of the electronics aisles.

When they searched Houston, officers found two cell phones that he had attempted to steal.

Houston was arrested and charged with burglary, two counts of property damage and theft by taking.

He is currently being held in the Fulton County Jail.
