In a shocking incident caught on video, multiple shoplifters were seen stuffing large amounts of meat into their pants before pulling a gun on a security guard. The Memphis Police Department (MPD) is currently investigating the brazen theft that occurred at a local supermarket. Eyewitness reports indicate that the suspects appeared calm while executing their plan, showing no signs of distress even with the potential for confrontation.
The surveillance footage, which has since gone viral on social media, reveals the suspects casually loading their clothing with various cuts of meat, including steaks and roasts, before making their escape. As they attempted to leave the store, a vigilant security guard intervened, leading to the terrifying moment when one of the shoplifters brandished a firearm.
According to authorities, the security guard managed to remain unharmed and did not fire back. Fortunately, the suspects fled the scene without taking any hostages or injuring anyone. Police have described the suspects as male and female individuals who are still at large, urging the public to provide any information that could lead to their apprehension.
Local residents expressed their outrage over the incident, with many voicing concerns about safety within the community. “It’s scary to think that something like this can happen in broad daylight,” said one shopper who witnessed the event. The MPD has heightened patrols in the area and is closely examining the footage in hopes of identifying the suspects.
As the investigation progresses, police are reminding store owners and security personnel to be vigilant and prioritize safety over material loss. Anyone with tips regarding the incident is encouraged to contact MPD immediately.
