MURFREESBORO, TN — Murfreesboro Police Department detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a person of interest connected to a theft that occurred at the JCPenney store inside Stones River Town Centre. The shopping mall sits between the Stones River and Old Fort Parkway in Murfreesboro.

According to investigators, a woman and a man entered the store on November 25. The duo are believed to have entered the store with trash bags, prepared to make a daring heist. Evidently, the two were accused of taking their trash bags out and then filling the garbage bags with a variety of JCPenney merchandise, mainly in the form of clothing. That daring heist added up to approximately $1,640 in loot that they allegedly walked out with.

Police released a surveillance photo of the woman as she entered the retail center. In the image, she is seen wearing a black varsity-style jacket with orange stripes around the cuffs and collar, along with an orange letter “S” stitched on the front left of the button-up jacket. The female had a black key dongle with yellow writing hanging from her neck. She was also wearing blue jeans with multiple holes, a tan shirt tucked in, and white tennis shoes. Her hair was pulled into a bun, secured with a white ribbon or band.

No photo of the male suspect has been released at this time.

Can You Help? Anyone with information that could help identify the woman or assist with the investigation is urged to contact Detective Ferree with the Murfreesboro Police Department at 629-201-5628. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
