East Precinct detectives are working to identify two female shoplifting suspects who injured a security guard on April 11 as they fled from Kroger at 3410 Gallatin Pike.
The women exited the store, one carrying a bag of unpaid for merchandise valued at $270 dollars. A security guard attempted to stop the woman carrying the bag and dropped her cell phone during an ensuing struggle. The suspect, who was wearing a green top and pants with purple shoes, picked up the guard’s phone and ran to a black Chevrolet Malibu driven by the second female suspect. The guard again attempted to stop the woman as she got into the front passenger seat of the Malibu, but the driver accelerated, dragging the guard who sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone who recognizes the women from the attached surveillance photos is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
