In an incident that has Memphis police on the lookout, AV Mart at 3818 South Mendenhall Road became the scene of a well-orchestrated shoplifting event. According to the Memphis Police Department, three females entered the establishment on July 10 and brazenly walked away with more than $1,000 worth of food items, secreted in large trash bags.
The report detailed the sequence of events, which began at 11:40 a.m. when the trio entered the store and proceeded to casually order pizza.
