Memphis Police Seek Suspect Accused of Snatching Stanley Cups from Local StoreSource: Memphis Police Department

Memphis police are on the lookout for a bold theft suspect accused of stealing Stanley Cups from a local Dick’s Sporting Goods store. According to the Memphis Police Department, last Thursday, a man dressed in construction gear was allegedly involved in a misdemeanor shoplifting incident and absconded with merchandise valued at around $300, as per Action News 5.

Dressed in a fluorescent costume as bright as his apparent audacity, the male suspect, described by the Memphis Police as a Black male, donned a yellow hard hat, yellow shirt, yellow vest, and blue jeans—a colorful character against the backdrop of retail normalcy. The suspect and his accomplices left in a tan Mercury sedan, which was notably sporting a red rear bumper and carried Tennessee tag number 037-BKYY, all of which was captured on security footage during the getaway.

The details of the heist have been corroborated by multiple sources, with Action News 5 confirming that the male suspect indeed walked past all points of sale before exiting the store. The cups in question, which WREG describes as trendy tumblers in pink, blue, and green, appear to be the object of the larceny.

With surveillance video images to aid, police are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the suspect. He is conspicuously seen wearing a reflective vest emblazoned with "Three Arrows Contracting," a business with local ties to Memphis. If one has information that could lead to the apprehension of the suspect, they are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling (901)528-CASH, as further described by WREG.
