A brazen burglar makes off with a stolen semi in Hattiesburg.

Authorities are looking for a man who they say stole a semi-truck from a Peterbilt dealership. In surveillance video released by the police department, you can see the man wearing pajama pants walking around the property.

The video then shows the truck crashing through a chain link gate and driving away, dragging a piece of the gate along with it.

Police say the damaged truck was found abandoned a short time later. The semi-trailer truck was damaged in the incident.

Police say if they catch the thief he’ll be charged with grand larceny.
