Detectives assigned to all eight precincts continue to work to identify three male suspects responsible for more than 80 business burglaries, primarily restaurants, in which they quickly make entry by smashing through windows/doors before going directly to offices/registers and fleeing with cash and small safes.
These smash and grab break-ins began in early February and have occurred across Nashville. In some of the break-ins, the suspects fled in a black 2016-2019 black Chevrolet Malibu with dark tinted windows. Business owners and employees are encouraged to be vigilant while open and prior to closing as the suspects may be in the area, watching, prior to breaking in.
Anyone who recognizes the burglars/Malibu from the attached surveillance photos is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
Detectives are also asking persons to report whether they have seen damaged safes dumped in the Nashville area.
