Memphis has been hit with another chapter in a spate of business burglaries, with the latest incident at 368 Perkins Road Extended. According to a report from the Memphis Police Department, the Venice Kitchen, a local eatery, had its tranquility disrupted by a brazen theft last Monday, June 16. Responding to a triggered alarm at 3:30 a.m., officers arrived to find evidence of a break-in.
The suspect, not simply content with vandalism, forced entry through the business’s back door. The security camera system, offering an unblinking eye into the crime, caught sight of a tattooed individual at 2:32 a.m. This footage captured his deliberate motions as he rummaged through the office looking for valuables. The attempt on the safe was unsuccessful, but the burglar made away with a box full of paperwork before disappearing into the night in a small sedan.
The Memphis Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect involved in a recent incident. The suspect has noticeable tattoos on both forearms and the back of the neck, which police hope will help in making a quick arrest. Clear surveillance footage and the suspect’s unique tattoos could be key. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 528-CASH. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
