Memphis has seen its share of crime, but the quiet disturbance at Buckman on McLean Boulevard has left the community rattled. On the evening of June 8th, a burglary took place with stealth that almost whispers caution into the night's events. According to a report released by the Memphis Police Department, an unidentified male made his way into the business after closing hours, at a moment when shadows blend into the backdrop of the city's bustle.
The report detailed the break-in occurred around 8:00 p.m., the thief's presence marked by the absence he left behind – two computers valued together at $6,000. The Memphis Police Department, piecing together the scant evidence, noted that the suspect exited the building by 8:55 p.m., almost an hour after their initial breach. The lack of immediate alarm or evident forced entry implies a premeditation that troubles local business owners and patrons alike.
The call to law enforcement came the following day, June 9th, at 5:06 p.m., when the crime was discovered. Currently, there is scant information about the suspect, which casts a larger shadow on the incident. Without witnesses or substantial leads, the Memphis Police Department finds itself in a familiar race against time, seeking threads that might unravel this case before the trail goes cold.
In the wake of this crime, the community is asked to become the eyes and ears of the investigation. Anyone with information, no matter how small it might seem, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 528-CASH.
