After the latest snatch and grab attempt, MPD is now looking for those responsible for breaking into a Boost Mobile cell phone store located in Northeast Memphis on Summer Avenue near Bartlett Road Friday around 6:30 a.m.

Memphis Police Department (MPD) posted surveillance footage showing three people breaking out a window at the Boost Mobile Friday morning.
According to MPD, no arrest have been made.
This latest attempt comes after a Walmart was raided by 20 plus shoplifters who traveled in more than 20 vehicles, stealing several televisions and electronics on Sunday, Nov. 20 around 9 p.m.
A local shoe store on Winchester was raided on the same night less than an hour after the Walmart was hit. Using the same strategy, more than 20 people were caught on the store's surveillance cameras as they ripped through the store stealing several items.
MPD said both incidents are believed to be connected.
MPD said it is unclear whether the unsuccessful theft attempt at Boost mobile is connected to last week's snatch and grabs.
