CARTERSVILLE, GA — At least two people reported their vehicles were broken into last weekend while they were visiting Planet Fitness in Cartersville.

According to incident reports released by the Bartow County Sheriff's Office, a woman said she went to Planet Fitness at 871 Joe Frank Harris Parkway around 6:50 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 23. Roughly 10 minutes later, the woman said she was notified that the passenger window to her Honda Accord had been shattered.

She told the deputy her purse containing her driver's license, SunTrust debit card, Capital One credit card, $300 in cash, $150 in gift cards had been taken from the car, according to the report. She also told the deputy that several transactions were made on her debit card before she could cancel its use.

This woman's unfortunate situation wasn't the only one reported that day to the Bartow County Sheriff's Office. Another woman said she arrived at the gym around 6:10 a.m. and upon returning to her vehicle an hour later, her back passenger window was shattered.

Surveillance footage obtained from Planet Fitness show a silver SUV-style vehicle, which appears to be a KIA Sorento, park next to the Hyundai.

"Shortly after the vehicle moved to a different parking spot parking next to another vehicle," the report notes. "A subject got out wearing what looked to be a red hoodie."

This same vehicle is also seen doing something similar to the Honda Accord as well as a Chevrolet Camaro. The man in a red hoodie gets out of the car and peeks into the driver's side window of the Chevrolet. He doesn't attempt to enter the Camaro, and instead gets back into the vehicle and leaves the parking lot.
