Memphis police are currently on the lookout for a male suspect connected to a vehicle theft that occurred in the 4100 block of American Way. According to Memphis Police Department’s recent report, on Monday, officers encountered a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado tagged as stolen. The suspect, found in the driver’s seat, ignored police commands and fled the scene, only for the stolen vehicle to later be found abandoned.
The incident began when officers, heeding a call about a suspicious vehicle, approached and sought to engage with the individual.

Authorities have provided a description of the suspect: a male with dirty blonde hair, sporting a partial goatee, and an identifiable piercing over his left eye.

The stolen vehicle, initially taken on August 10 from the 1700 block of Carruthers Place, adds to a string of auto thefts in the region…
