Memphis Police Seek Two Suspected of Armed Robbery at Midtown WalgreensSource: Facebook/Memphis Police Department est.1827

Memphis Police are actively searching for two men in connection with an armed robbery at a Walgreens in Midtown. According to WREG, the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday when two masked individuals, one armed with an AR-style rifle and the other with a handgun, entered the store located at Union Avenue and South McLean Boulevard. The suspects demanded and took $310 from an employee at the front of the store.

Surveillance footage captured the suspects in the act, showing one of the men pointing the rifle directly at an employee. The second suspect's handgun, notable for its extended magazine wrapped in white tape, was also aimed threateningly. The urgency to quickly identify the perpetrators is high, with CrimeStoppers issuing a call for any information that may aid in the investigation.

An additional account by Action News 5 adds further details about the incident and the suspects. A shift leader at the Walgreens branch reported that two men dressed in all-black, after initially leaving the store, returned and forced him to hand over the cash at gunpoint. The total amount stolen was reported to be $315. Following the robbery, the men were seen departing in a white Nissan Altima.

More images and details emerged last night when FOX13 Memphis released photos of the robbers. They were both described as wearing masks and dressed in black. Memphis Police are urging anyone with information relevant to the armed robbery or the identification of the suspects to reach out. Tips can be provided anonymously through CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH and could potentially lead to a monetary reward for those whose information significantly aids in the suspects' capture.
