Allegheny County Police have arrested a man after a string of crimes allegedly committed at numerous car washes and laundromats, with some of those crimes caught on camera.
Shawn Jackson is in the Allegheny County jail after police released surveillance pictures to the public and received a tip to help them identify him. They said earlier this month, he went to the Snowy White Laundromat in Crafton, shut off power through the breaker box, and broke into these slot machines with pry bars, getting away with more than $11,000.
Jackson also faces charges in connection with several other crimes, including an attempted burglary at a laundromat in Pleasant Hills and allegedly tried to steal an ATM that was bolted to the floor of a laundromat in Scott Township. Police say he shut off the power in both locations.
Police say he also stole from Dean’s Car Wash in Upper St. Clair, getting away with $40 from a payment machine. Jackson told police he committed the crimes because he’s addicted to meth.
Jackson will appear in front of a judge next Thursday.
