Macomb County Deputies are searching for a man caught stealing from a local business, multiple times.

Investigators say he is wanted for uprooting flowers from in front of the Vintage Garden antique store.

Business owner Elizabeth says she is fed up.

"I get here and the garden is missing and I go on the camera, I see that he's come again, I see it's the same person. It makes me nervous."

She has the cyclist on surveillance camera twice in the past month, but believes he's taken from her three times.

"He's taken all the hastas, all the succulents, all the heucheras and then last week he came and took the focal piece of the garden which was the rose bush in the middle."

Her antiques resale shop is new in town, she's only been open since April.

Like any small business every piece of inventory matters, even the theft of her decorative flower bed outside impacts her bottom line.

"It's part of my business, I sell garden supplies. I sell plants. It's frustrating that I can't make it the way that I want it to look so it's nice for my business and nice for my customers."

She wants this man caught before he finds another small business to hurt.

If you know who is behind the thefts call the Macomb Co. Sheriff's Office.
