GAINESVILLE, Ga. — A man is behind bars after police say he burglarized a Gainesville bank.
Last Friday, around 7:30 a.m., officers were called to the MyGeorgia Credit Union on Limestone Parkway regarding a burglary.
Gainesville detectives used surveillance footage from nearby businesses and evidence to identify the suspect as Victor Barragan, 35, of Gainesville.
Police said Barragan used a rock to break a window to get inside the credit union, causing an estimated $450 in damages.
Once inside, Barragan searched through multiple drawers before leaving the bank. No items were reported missing.
Barragan was later found in a family member’s car in Lighthouse Manor’s parking lot. He was arrested just before 3 p.m. and booked into the Hall County Jail.
He’s charged with 2nd-degree burglary and criminal trespass.
