LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office arrested a suspect on Christmas Eve who they say was caught in the act of disrupting the holiday spirit.
Around 1 p.m., the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) responded to a call of a burglary in process.
“We heard that it was someone who was maybe six foot tall, that he was wearing a Santa suit, and was even green in color,” PCSO Public Information Officer Kristin Knox said.

The suspect was caught stealing every ounce of Christmas he could.
“You know new bikes, even some cameras, even a PlayStation 5, those are some of the big-ticket items,” Knox said.
Authorities said 15 homes were hit, one of those homes even capturing the theft on their Ring Doorbell camera.
“We knew that we had to catch him this year because he has traumatized everyone for at least the past three years,” Knox said.
