Memphis Drug Task Force Recovers Stolen Cash From Nashville Robbery

Agents with the West Tennessee Drug Task Force in Memphis discovered a suitcase containing nearly $4,500 in cash and 7-Eleven deposit bags during routine criminal interdiction operations. Investigation revealed the cash had been stolen in an armed robbery in Nashville about six hours earlier. At least one suspect has been identified, and the task force is collaborating with Metro Nashville robbery detectives to return the stolen money to the victim and arrest all involved. Task Force Director Johnie Carter highlighted that agents frequently encounter various serious crimes during interdiction, including drugs, bombs, human trafficking, and money laundering. The discovery underscores the broad scope of criminal activity the task force addresses beyond narcotics enforcement. Details about the robbery remain limited as the investigation continues.
