Greg Glover - Jul 3, 2024 Updated Aug 8, 2024 "Don't be a burglar," said Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller. It is a simple admonition that, if followed, could save a lot of trouble. All burglaries are felonies. That especially holds true in this week's case. To Hixson Pike we go, and the Cali Smoke and Vape Shop. Overnight burglaries on May 31 and June 1 cost the business big time. "Not once, but twice, back to back, within 24 hours," said Miller."The first night, two s

Greg Glover, May 8, 2024 Updated May 11, 2024 This week, we are seeking a Bordeaux bandit, chardonnay shop-lifter; the puns really write themselves. But, the value of what police say our suspect took makes things a bit more serious. In fact, it makes the crime a felony. "Normally, on Crime Stoppers, we wouldn't bring you a small shoplifting case," explained Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller. "But, in this case, he took 30 bottles of wine, which is out of the ordinary." S

Greg Glover, Jul 10, 2024 Pictures of the suspect and his vehicle come from Best Buy after he made his purchase with the stolen account. "What's weird about this one is, he didn't actually have the credit card with him," said Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller. "The credit card was with the victim, who was not even in town at the time." Detectives are not sure, at this point, how he came into possession of the important information. "Once we find out who the suspect is, w

Greg Glover, Jun 12, 2024 Sometimes, you just cannot tell what will catch the eye of a thief. It is sad to think that you need to keep everything locked away, but that seems to be the case these days. "On a Tuesday afternoon, the suspect that you'll see in the photos took it upon himself to back into the driveway of a residence in the East Brainerd area," Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller began. Spoiler alert: It was not the suspect's house. You may wonder what this guy w

Greg Glover, Jun 5, 2024 The cost to repair the damage our suspect left behind may shock you, and makes this a serious offense. "In this case, the anger probably got the best of him, said Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller. "The door didn't open. Maybe he was having a bad day. Who knows?" It was one recent evening when the man entered the gas station on Frazier Avenue. "The suspect appears to be a white male," Miller explained, "was just over 6 feet tall, has a lot of tat

CPD responded to the 7200 block of Shallowford Road around 2:30 A.M on reports of a person hit. Officers arrived to find a woman with life threatening injuries. The 36-year-old was taken to the hospital where she died. The preliminary investigation found a Ford F-150 was going west on Shallowford Road and hit the woman as she cro

Greg Glover Aug 23, 2023 Updated Aug 24, 2023 "You know, we should live where we don't half to be subject to crime," said Chattanooga Police Sgt. Victor Miller. "But, unfortunately, it happens." And, this week, we learn that you cannot afford to let your guard down; not even to have a bite of lunch. The scene was the Olive Garden, on a Friday afternoon. Sgt. Miller says, a family's meal was interrupted. "This is a crime of opportunity where they saw the purse and they busted
