Yesterday, a vehicle burglary occurred at 2726 South Perkins Road, leaving one motorist without her belongings as the thief made off with a computer bag. The incident took place at the Sunco Gas Station and was reported to the police following the theft.
The victim, who had parked her car at the gas pumps, was away from her vehicle when the suspect broke in and commandeered her property. The victim was inside the store, unaware of the unfolding incident, and officers were dispatched to the scene at approximately 1:30 a.m. Memphis police are now searching for a male suspect who was spotted wearing a white shirt with blue sleeves.
According to a report from the Memphis Police Department's website, the suspect fled in a black SUV that might be a Dodge Journey, but this detail remains unconfirmed as investigations continue. The abrupt nature of such incidents underscores the importance of vigilance, even in the mundanity of a gas station visit.
The department urges anyone with information to act in the interest of justice and contact Crime Stoppers immediately; a call to 901-528-CASH could be the key to tracking down the individual responsible for this property crime.
