Nashville Authorities on the Hunt for Burglary Duo
Nashville, Tenn. — In a string of sneaky heists, two men have allegedly targeted local fitness centers, making away with wallets and other personal belongings from locker rooms while the unsuspecting staff were distracted. Metro Police are currently investigating these burglaries and are calling on the community for help in identifying the suspects.
The Timeline of Thievery
The escapades of these individuals began on October 8 when they brazenly hit four different fitness locations, specifically YMCAs and a Planet Fitness, throughout Nashville, Hendersonville, and Franklin. Here’s how the timeline unfolded:
- 7:35 a.m. — YMCA, 102 Bluegrass Commons Boulevard, Hendersonville
- 8:30 a.m. — YMCA, 2624 Gallatin Pike, East Nashville
- 9:30 a.m. — YMCA, 3001 Lebanon Pike, Hermitage
- 11:20 a.m. — Planet Fitness, 1113 Murfreesboro Road, Franklin
These time slots show an alarming pace, where it seems the duo knew exactly what they were doing. It’s believed that while one suspect engaged the front desk employees in conversation, the other quickly swiped items from unattended locker rooms.
What’s Happening with the Stolen Goods?
