A recent investigation by the Collierville Police Department into a luxury car heist has resulted in the arrest of a suspect from Knoxville. The initial report came from a Mercedes-Benz dealership on Houston Levee in February, when they reported two high-end vehicles missing from their lot.
According to a Facebook post by the Collierville Police Department, their detectives launched a full-fledged operation, pouring over surveillance videos and tracking down digital trails to identify the suspect, in this case, Charles Edward Lewis of Knoxville.
The work was exhaustive, the department noted, spanning across various leads from the tape to the digital footprint, their diligence paid off.
The tightening cooperation between the Collierville Police and the Knox County Sheriff's Office proved fruitful, leading to the apprehension of Lewis. It's reported that warrants were secured before the suspect was taken into custody, marking the end of what was described as a "relentless pursuit."
CPD officers successfully transported Lewis back to Collierville where he is expected to face charges of Auto Theft, the outcome serves as a testament to the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration a fact that the police department took pride in highlighting. The statement from the Collierville Police Department lauds the skill and teamwork of their detectives, saying "This arrest is a direct result of the skill, persistence, and teamwork demonstrated by our detectives" and it underscores the value of interdepartmental cooperation in law enforcement.
