MEMPHIS, Tenn — Memphis Police have released pictures of the suspects wanted after several burglaries early Wednesday across Memphis.
MPD investigators said it began about 6:10 a.m. Sept. 13, 2023, when officers responded to a burglary at Fastenal in the 4200 block of Raines Rd. They said the suspects forced their way into the building and took several Milwaukee tools and a white 2023 Dodge Ram 1500 truck.
Investigators said the suspects then took that truck to Grainer in the 1900 block of Nonconnah RD., where more tools were stolen. Then MPD officers responded to a burglary alarm at Northern Tool in the 5100 block of Summer Ave. When they got there, they found damage to an overhead door at the back of the business, and a pressure washer outside. They said the front of the store was also vandalized.
A witness told investigators after hearing a loud bang, he saw what was possibly a red Maxima and a white pickup. Officers went inside the business and looked for possible suspects inside and found front desk drawers open but no money taken.
The MPD report said video surveillance showed three men breaking in and stealing batteries, a vacuum, and two pressure washers – one of which was the one found outside. Investigators said the store manager is still inventorying just how much was taken, but it is estimated to be around $3,000 worth.
Investigators said the suspects were also using a two-door red Infiniti, which MPD said the suspects used at a Uhaul located in the 3500 block of S. Mendenhall Road, where they tried to take a pickup truck but were unsuccessful.
