Just before 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 23, the Mt. Juliet Police Department posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that officers apprehended two people while responding to a shoplifting in progress at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Authorities said they arrested a 27-year-old Cheatham County man — who already had warrants out of Cheatham, Williamson, and Montgomery counties — and a 40-year-old Clarksville woman for shoplifting.

Then, at 4:45 p.m., officials announced two more arrests, saying that Mt. Juliet’s Guardian Shield program had notified officers earlier in the afternoon about a license plate of a “known suspect vehicle in many Middle TN shoplifting incidents.”

Police said they intercepted the car in Providence Marketplace and took two suspects — confirmed as the shoplifters — into custody.

According to law enforcement, a 31-year-old Nashville woman was in possession of crack cocaine, un-prescribed pills, and marijuana, while a 24-year-old Nashville woman was in possession of crack cocaine packaged for resale, as well as un-prescribed pills.

“Various suspected stolen merchandise was recovered from the car, and they have been identified in 3 felony shopliftings in the Providence area and are linked to many others across Middle TN,” the department wrote in its social media post, which included a video of officers searching a vehicle in the shopping center parking lot.

No additional details have been released about either incident, including the identities of the four people arrested or the specific charges they face.
