On a typical Wednesday evening, what was supposed to be a routine shopping trip at Macy’s turned into a moment of distress when, according to the Memphis Police Department, a theft occurred from 2700 North Germantown Parkway. The incident, which took place on August 20, 2025, was reported after a man, in the midst of trying on clothes, left his wallet along with a considerable amount of cash in his pants pocket and inadvertently stepped out of the dressing room.
Upon his return, the victim noticed his belongings had been tampered with; the wallet and its contents vanished. It was then that he made eye contact with a suspect, prompting a brief and unexpected chase that ended with the suspect surrendering the wallet, but not before the cash was spirited away.
