Police have charged a metro Atlanta man with stealing $37,000 worth of rare coins from a shop in northwest Georgia.

The Atlanta Joual-Constitution reports 37-year-old London Harris was charged this week with felony theft in Dalton, where a store owner reported the theft in mid-November. Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier says Harris went into the store Nov. 17 and asked to see several coins before distracting the store owner and concealing a box of coins under his jacket.

Police say Harris was arrested at Northlake Mall in metro Atlanta on Dec. 26 after another store owner recognized him from a previous theft. Dalton police charged him Tuesday with the coin theft. Police say Harris is suspected in thefts in at least six jurisdictions.
