Man’s gun stolen from holster while waiting in gas station line
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police are looking for a man accused of stealing a gun off another man’s holster while he was standing in line at a store.
Police said the victim was waiting to check out inside a gas station on Perkins Road in Parkway Village when a man wearing a Looney Tunes hoodie grabbed the gun from a holster on his hip.
The two struggled before the suspect gained control of the weapon. Detectives say the suspect is accused of pointing it at the victim before taking off in this Hyundai.
Nine days later and about fifteen minutes away in Whitehaven, police got a similar call, but a man was arrested in that case.
