MEMPHIS, Tenn. � Dozens of suspects robbed two gas stations
overnight, stealing over $17,000 worth of merchandise, police
say.
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland made a statement saying he�s angry
more than anything.
�I mean it�s similar to videos I�ve seen across the country.
Those convenience store owners are small business people. I�ve
met with them. They have to work there, themselves a lot, just
to earn a living,� Mayor Strickland said. �The court system
needs fundamental change to adjust to what�s going on out in the
community. The police are arresting them. The courts won�t keep
them.�

At 11:50 p.m., approximately 40 suspects entered the Fill-N-Go
gas station at 3084 South Third Street. An individual inside the
business said that one of the suspects came into the store and
pointed a rifle at him before leaving.
The victim says that the suspect had on a black Nike ski mask, a
black pullover hoodie, blue jeans, and a black bag across his
chest.
Police released information on the individual responsible for
the aggravated assault. They say he will be in a newer model
white Mitsubishi Outlander, possibly with a woman wearing a
black pullover, green T-shirt, black tights, and black slides.
The suspects caused approximately $9,000 worth of damage to the
second business and stole approximately $15,000 worth of
merchandise.
It is unclear if the thefts were caused by the same group of
people.
