Clarksville police are asking residents to review surveillance footage after two masked men entered Sazon Latino and Bar on South Riverside Drive and took alcohol. A third person was outside the business and did not go in, according to the Clarksville Police Department.
The burglary at 1009 S. Riverside Drive was reported after an incident on October 21. Police described the two men who entered as white males wearing light-colored hoodies and jeans; one carried a backpack. Investigators have asked anyone who recognizes the people in the footage or has additional video to contact Officer Renfro at (931) 648-0656, extension 5432, Clarksville Now reported.
Citywide crime figures offer limited context
The case is a single business burglary, and broader crime totals cannot show whether similar incidents are becoming more or less common. Clarksville Now, citing Tennessee Bureau of Investigation statistics, reported that Clarksville recorded 64.5 major crime reports per 1,000 residents in 2024, compared with 65.9 in 2023. Those figures cover Group A offenses broadly; they are not burglary-specific and do not establish a trend for businesses or the area around Sazon Latino. Clarksville Now’s report also put the city’s total Group A offenses at 11,965 in 2024, down from 11,994 in 2023.
What police have not disclosed
Police have not publicly identified the people shown in the footage. The department has not announced arrests or charges, or specified the amount of alcohol taken or the value of the loss.
