Nashville law enforcement is on high alert as detectives actively seek assistance from the public to help identify the individuals behind a series of violent robberies in the area. The most recent incident, occurring on December 2nd, involved a 62-year-old woman being attacked in broad daylight at the Family Dollar located on Nolensville Pike. According to the report released by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the victim was assaulted by a male suspect who forcibly took her purse, resulting in a severe injury as she fell and struck her head on the pavement.
The police have linked this attack to at least three other robberies in November, all involving a male and female pair. Victims ranged in age and circumstance, but the outcome was uniformly traumatic. The police are now trying to swiftly piece together these crimes, suggesting a pattern that might help to prevent future occurrences. The suspects are believed to have traveled in an older white sedan, and descriptions vary slightly, with the male suspect consistently described as a short black man and the female suspect differing in racial description across incidents, as detailed by the MNPD.
On November 28, a young mother with her daughter was suddenly confronted by an armed man and a woman outside her Packard Drive apartment. Then, on November 26, a 55-year-old woman faced a brutal attack with a metal object outside her Greenleaf Drive residence, necessitating immediate medical care. Earlier in the month, a 67-year-old woman was also a victim of purse snatching at her Tusculum Road home, thankfully spared physical harm, as reported by the MNPD.
"Anyone with information about these robberies/suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463," stated the MNPD announcement. "Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward."
