MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Four men broke into multiple businesses beginning Friday morning, stealing over $11,000 worth of items at one store, police said.
The Memphis Police Department responded to the first burglary Dec. 1 around 4:30 a.m. in the 1700 block of Prescott Road at the Prescott Express convenience store, where officers found the front door pried open.
Police said multiple suspects stole T-shirts and drove away in a black four-door BMW with tinted windows.
Almost 20 minutes later, officers responded to an alarm at 1617 Getwell Road at the Romantix adult entertainment store. Someone told them that the safe, a cash register, and $11,000 in merchandise were taken. Four suspects had escaped in a black four-door sedan, police said.
Another alarm call sent officers to 862 South Cooper Street at Soul Fish Cafe about an hour later. Police said four suspects drove into the lot in a black BMW then stole a safe from the restaurant before getting away.
The next day around 5 a.m., police said camera footage captured four suspects forcing their way inside Sugar Ghost Ice Cream and Bubble Tea at 2615 Broad Avenue, then escaping in a dark-colored four-door BMW and a midsize Infiniti SUV.
Investigators said they believe the four incidents are related. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
