MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police are searching for an armed robber who forced his way into three homes in the Parkway Village area Friday.

Police said it all began at around 3:20 p.m. when a man entered a residence in the 3400 block of Eastport Cove, robbed the occupants, took a baby from a mom, entered another room, and struck someone in the head with his handgun.

The baby was not harmed or taken from the home.

A short time later, police responded to a report of a suspicious person in the 3000 block of Claudette, also in Parkway Village.

The resident reported that a man in all black came into her home and closed the door behind him.

She screamed, causing the man to leave her house.

Another robbery was reported in the 3200 block of West Danville Circle in Parkway Village, and the victim says the man entered the apartment attempting to rob them at gunpoint.

MPD said that one of the victims was able to escape the apartment, and the man left seconds later without taking anything.

“You’ve got to lock your doors behind you,” Johnell Bridget, a Parkway Village resident. “You have to stay aware of what’s going on in your surroundings at all times.”

Police stated that, based on the suspect’s description, behavior, and the close proximity in time and location, all three incidents are believed to be connected.

No arrest has been made. This is an ongoing investigation.
