The Metro Nashville Police Department has issued a public safety warning following the release of a video showing a group of armed suspects breaking into a car. The department has strongly advised against confronting car burglars, due to the potential for the perpetrators being armed. In a statement obtained by WSMV, the MNPD urged the public, "if you see something, say something by calling 911. DO NOT ENGAGE car burglars, they may be armed!"

The suspects, caught on camera, appear to be targeting a white 2018 Infiniti Q50, with one individual breaking into the vehicle through a hole in the car's sunroof. In a related report by FOX 17, it was noted that the group consisted of four individuals who were seen surrounding the car while at least one of them entered the vehicle after enlarging a pre-existing hole in the sunroof. It was also reported that other members of the group appeared to stand watch, possibly armed, as the burglary took place.

The MNPD is continuing to search for those responsible and has encouraged anyone with information about the suspects or the 2018 Infiniti Q50 to come forward. The department further reiterated the danger of engaging with such individuals through their official social media, stating, Know anything?"Call 615-742-7463, as shared in a Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Facebook post.

Mt. Juliet Police Department also expressed concerns regarding the spillover of car break-ins into their jurisdiction, emphasizing the need for vigilance among residents. According to a statement given to Fox 17, the department warned that "criminals don’t stop at borders, so it’s always important to stay mindful. If you see suspicious activity, DO NOT ENGAGE—these individuals could be armed. Instead, call 911 immediately."
