Knoxville police are asking for an extra set of eyes from the community as they work to identify two people tied to a vehicle theft in North Knoxville near Edgewood Avenue last Thursday. East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers has shared photos and case details and is asking anyone who recognizes the pair to come forward. According to the post, the stolen vehicle was later found in Walland, and tipsters whose information leads to an arrest could qualify for a cash reward.
