Tragedy as elderly woman robbed at Gunpoint at Memphis ATM Machine
Yesterday saw an elderly Memphis woman robbed at gunpoint while withdrawing cash from an ATM machine. Although the suspect is still at large, CCTV in the area captured the incident as it unfolded. As a result, a clear picture of his face can be seen in the photo below. In the same picture, he was also seen holding a handgun which was aimed towards the woman.
According to the Memphis Police Department, the man was armed with a gray handgun and was last seen leaving the scene in a 2015 red Hyundai Elantra. Any information which leads to an arrest, in this case, could be worth up to $1,000.
On Twitter, users were quick to condemn the thief, with one saying “Robbing an elderly women to probably buy material things is next level disgusting” whilst another made a very valid point by writing, “The money he used to buy that gun he coulda got a job with.” Others pointed out the mans loafers and called them ‘corny‘. Unsurprisingly, the main feeling is anger as this man preyed on a defenseless, older woman who could have been someone’s mother or grandmother.
Although shaken, the woman was not hurt though but under different circumstances, things could have gone horribly wrong and ended up badly. If you have any information on this robbery, then please do not hesitate to call 901-528-CASH.
