FedEx robbery in Memphis

*A flash mob robbery of a FedEx semi-trailer is at the center of 
an investigation by Memphis police. The crime, which occurred 
just after 8:30 pm on Nov. 11, occurred during a “deliberate” 
traffic jam.

Police reveal thieves broke into the 53-foot semi-trailer, 
stealing dozens of packages. Cell phone video capturing the 
incident shows the thieves taking boxes in a “deliberately 
caused” traffic jam at the intersection of Riverport Road and 
Mallory Avenue. The video also showed a man in a red hoodie, who 
was seen tossing boxes out of the back of the FedEx truck while 
others grabbed the boxes off the roadway.

Although a large safety latch was used to seal the trailer, the 
FedEx driver stated the suspects easily broke the latch with an 
unknown tool.

Going off a tip from security at the Breezy Point Apartments, 
Sandra Rose reports the three suspects were arrested at the 
complex on Sunday (Nov. 12). In addition to detaining the 
suspects, authorities recovered some of the stolen packages.

The arrests came after police reportedly put the entire Breezy 
Point Apartments complex on lockdown and ordered residents to 
remain inside their apartments. From there, security officers 
said they noticed three men sitting inside a white car that 
smelled of marijuana smoke.
