Woman Caught on Camera After Stealing Credit Cards from University of Tennessee Health Science Center
In the bustling city of Memphis, a brazen theft has left many residents scratching their heads and hoping for justice. The Memphis Police Department is currently on the lookout for a woman who pulled off a clever credit card heist at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. This incident occurred early Tuesday morning, before 10 a.m., when the woman reportedly stole multiple credit cards from the medical school’s campus located on Madison Avenue.
How the Crime Unfolded
According to police reports, after the woman pilfered the cards, she didn’t waste any time. She hopped into a white sedan and headed straight to the nearby Samโs Club on Winchester Road. Once there, she boldly went about using the stolen cards to make a purchase, completely unfazed by the potential consequences of her actions. Talk about guts!
The crime was not without its witnesses, however. Surveillance cameras captured the entire incident, providing law enforcement with visual evidence of the suspect. The footage shows the woman dressed in work attire and sporting an ID badge at the time of the theft, which certainly raises questions about her true identity.
