Several Cars burglarized At Auto Source In Springfield

In a brazen burglary thieves broke into several (as many as eight) vehicles on the Auto Source car lot located at 800 Memorial Blvd near the intersection of Memorial and 8th Ave.  Police are still trying to reach out to the owner of the business to confirm the number of cars burglarized but it appeared that about eight vehicles had their radios removed. The burglary occurred around 1:45AM Sunday. A Springfield officer just happened to be coming out of the driveway across the street and noticed something that didn’t seem quite right. As the officer moved in for a closer look the suspects made a dash for their vehicle and fled the scene.

The Springfield officer pursued the suspects for several miles down Memorial Blvd but turned the pursuit over to the Robertson County Sheriffs Department. The suspects are still at large.

If you have any information on the suspects please call Robertson County dispatch at 615-513-9844

UPDATE: Another attempted vehicle burglary occurred around the corner several hours later, police say it was unconnected. See more below.

BELOW: Several hours later around 5:AM and just around the corner police were called to 507 5th Ave, also in Springfield TN. The caller stated that someone was breaking into a red Blazer in front of the home at that address. Police arrived and arrested a suspect Jeffrey Jamison who according to a witness was allegedly trying to break into the vehicle. Jamison said he was innocent.

According to police there was no apparent connection to the burglary on Memorial Blvd earlier, those suspects are still at large. The suspect in the photo below had an elastic-band head mount flash light and police retrieved two other items that according to a witness that spoke to Smokey were allegedly used to try to break into the vehicle. The suspect was taken to the Robertson County Detention facility in Springfield.
