A man from Soddy-Daisy is facing charges after police say he went on several shoplifting sprees at the Home Depot in Hixson.
According to the arrest reports we got, he escaped arrest for more than a month following the sprees.
Here is the timetable based on those reports:
Police said they were summoned to the Home Depot on August 14th to investigate a shoplifting report. Employees informed detectives that Nicholas Bull lifted several Milwaukee power tools. According to the investigation, Home Depot chronicled Bull’s visits to the store over the previous five days. They stated he’d cut the security ties on the tools and walk out of the store without paying. According to the investigation, Home Depot estimates Bull stole $1,295 during a five-day period.
Later that month, on August 29th, police said they were summoned back to the Home Depot. Employees provided investigators with CCTV evidence of Bull entering the store, this time carrying a backpack. According to the claim, the footage shows Bull heading towards a battery cage in the hardware area. It states he was able to unlock the cage’s combination lock. Authorities say he then removed three DeWalt 20V Max Battery Kits, each worth $349. The total for battery kit thefts is $1,047. According to the police report, Bull put the kits in his backpack and left the store without paying.
The next day, August 30th, police said they were summoned back to the Home Depot. According to a third allegation, the business recorded Bull using stolen DeWalt cutters to gain access to a DeWalt precision wrench. Both products added up to $370. According to the report, before police arrived, Bull fled with the stolen goods. An officer stated that he made touch with Bull down the road from the Home Depot and attempted to conceal. Police said that after calling for Bull to surrender, he fled into surrounding woods, and cops did not pursue him. More arrest warrants were filed for Bull.
According to online records, authorities arrested Bull on Sunday. He is facing multiple counts.
