Authorities in Nashville are on the hunt for a robbery suspect following an armed incident at a local vape shop. The Vape Club, located at 710A Stewarts Ferry Pike, became the scene of a crime when a gunman demanded merchandise from the store clerk on Thursday morning, as detailed by Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
