A statement from the Gwinnett County Police Department says their officers responded to a residential burglary alarm call on Independence Day.

The man stole over $2,000 in cash and over $5,000 worth of jewelry, according to police.
Police are encouraging anyone with information on that may lead to the man's identification to step forward.
