NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Metro Police Violent Crimes detectives are urgently seeking the public’s help in their attempt to identify a man and a woman linked to at least four violent robberies across Nashville. The duo's latest attack, on Sunday afternoon, left a 62-year-old woman hospitalized after she was assaulted in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store on Nolensville Pike.

Around 3 p.m., the victim was placing items in her car when the suspects pulled up in an older white sedan. A man exited the vehicle, grabbed the victim, and stole her purse after a struggle that caused her to fall and hit her head. She was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment.

Detectives suspect this incident is connected to three earlier robberies: a November 28 attack on a 27-year-old woman outside her Packard Drive apartment, a November 26 assault on a 55-year-old woman on Greenleaf Drive, and a November 15 robbery of a 67-year-old woman on Tusculum Road. Each attack followed a disturbing pattern of targeting women, with suspects resorting to physical violence to snatch purses.

The male suspect is described as a short Black man, while the female suspect was described as white in two robberies and Black in two others. The suspects’ vehicle is believed to be an older white sedan.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
