Meat Heist Shakes Memphis: Two Men Steal Over $1,200 in Food
Hello, Memphis! There’s a curious case of a rather bold shoplifting incident that has the community scratching their heads. On a sunny Saturday, right in the heart of the Hickory Hill area, two men attempted what can only be described as a meat heist at the local Walmart.
What Happened?

Quick Getaway
