MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police have released a picture of at least one person wanted in connection to a $300,000 heist at a home in the Grahamwood area.
Investigators said the man was captured on camera on March 4 walking away from the house on North Graham with some of the stolen items.
Monday, a relative of the homeowners was beefing up security around the house.
“It could be different people. It could be the same guy,” he said.
The man, who did not want to be identified, said someone broke into the home three times in about a week while the homeowners were away. He said they got in through first-floor windows and took jewelry, firearms, ammunition, and collector coins from a large safe.
“They cut it open. They used one of the homeowner’s tools, a grinder. That’s where he got most of the stuff,” he said. “He had a lifetime of stuff in there they got.”
He said so far they have not recovered any of the stolen items.
“Every time they came in, we found it, and we tried to do a thing or two to secure it, and every time they found another way to get in. They were determined to get in.”
He said the man in the red T-shirt was seen leaving the property at around 9 a.m. He said family members decided to board up windows to keep the burglars out of the house.
“It’s very frustrating. There is no doubt about that. It’s frustrating for the whole family.”
