    MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Dozens of suspects robbed two gas stations
    overnight, stealing over $17,000 worth of merchandise, police
    say.

    Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland made a statement saying he’s angry
    more than anything.

    “I mean it’s similar to videos I’ve seen across the country.
    Those convenience store owners are small business people. I’ve
    met with them. They have to work there, themselves a lot, just
    to earn a living,” Mayor Strickland said. “The court system
    needs fundamental change to adjust to what’s going on out in the
    community. The police are arresting them. The courts won’t keep
    them.”

    3 detained after thieves ransack FedEx semi-trailer
    According to reports, just after 10 p.m., a mob of approximately
    30-40 suspects entered the Exxon at 3483 Airways Boulevard. The
    suspects grabbed multiple items of merchandise and ran out of
    the store.

    $2,000 worth of items were reportedly stolen from the first
    business.

    At 11:50 p.m., approximately 40 suspects entered the Fill-N-Go
    gas station at 3084 South Third Street. An individual inside the
    business said that one of the suspects came into the store and
    pointed a rifle at him before leaving.

    The victim says that the suspect had on a black Nike ski mask, a
    black pullover hoodie, blue jeans, and a black bag across his
    chest.

    Police released information on the individual responsible for
    the aggravated assault. They say he will be in a newer model
    white Mitsubishi Outlander, possibly with a woman wearing a
    black pullover, green T-shirt, black tights, and black slides.

    The suspects caused approximately $9,000 worth of damage to the
    second business and stole approximately $15,000 worth of
    merchandise.

    It is unclear if the thefts were caused by the same group of
    people.
