MEMPHIS, TN – A CrimeStoppers cash award of more than $20,000 is available to anyone who can help authorities identify a trio of robbers in a brazen midday armed robbery August 29, 2025 outside a Kroger store at 1212 E. Shelby Drive.
A black Nissan Murano bearing an un-readable temporary tag parked behind a Loomis truck at 11:03 that morning. The masked gunmen held automatic rifles on the Loomis driver, ordered him to the ground, then grabbed an unspecified amount of cash in bags from inside the truck before fleeing. They were last seen driving northbound toward Raines Road.
Authorities believe the same three men are responsible for another Loomis robbery at an ATM outside a First Horizon bank in February. They fled that time with multiple containers of cash in a white Nissan Altima that was stolen and later found.
Loomis has provided $20,000 in the case, and CrimeStoppers of Memphis and Shelby County placed the money in a special account for awards. The amount will be in addition to whatever the CrimeStoppers Awards Committee of community volunteers decides will be paid out of regular CrimeStoppers funds.
The Memphis Police Department released descriptions of the suspects. All three are thinly-built black males wearing black hoodies, with masks hiding all but their eyes. Two men wore black pants and the other one wore white. Each was armed with an AR-style assault rifle.
“We believe there are people in the community who know who the robbers are,” said David Wayne Brown, executive director of CrimeStoppers. “We gladly will pay this significant amount at an undisclosed location for anonymous information to our tips line that helps bring about a charge and/or an arrest.”
The number is (901) 528-CASH (2274). Every call is guaranteed to remain anonymous.
