Memphis Police on The Hunt for Suspected Store Robber
The vibrant city of Memphis is buzzing with concern after a series of alarming robberies have unfolded at local dollar stores. Police are currently on the lookout for a suspect who has been accused of robbing both the Dollar Tree and Dollar General, and they need the community’s help to bring this individual to justice.
Robbery Scene at Dollar General
Just last Thursday, police responded to a call about a robbery at the Dollar General on Raleigh Lagrange Road. Witnesses described a tense situation where the suspect displayed a firearm during the incident, which undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the store. Customers and staff were left shaken as the robber demanded money from the register, taking an undisclosed amount before fleeing the scene.
Connect the Dots: Previous Incidents
Whatโs particularly concerning is that this isnโt an isolated incident. Investigators have linked this robber to previous incidents at Dollar Tree locations, specifically on October 16 and October 30. On those occasions, the same suspect reportedly entered the store and demanded cash, again brandishing a weapon. It seems clear that this individual is targeting dollar stores, and the police are eager to catch him before any more robberies take place.
A Call for Community Support
At this point, no arrests have been made, and the police are appealing to the public for any information that may lead to the capture of this suspect. Every little bit helps, and members of the Memphis community are encouraged to remain vigilant. If you have any details that could assist in the investigation, now is the time to speak up.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH. Your tip might make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of your fellow Memphians. You can report anonymously if that helps you feel safer about coming forward.
Staying Safe in Your Community

Memphis has always been about community, and the people here look out for one another. Now more than ever, itโs crucial to band together and help out the police in identifying this suspect.
