Multiple teens wanted after Mt. Juliet shopping, church complex burglarized
Police described the suspects as male teenagers between the ages of 14-19 — one had a skateboard and another had a bicycle.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WSMV) - Update: Three teenagers are wanted following a burglary at the Shiloh Plaza just before noon on Thursday.
Witnesses reported seeing three suspects burglarizing the shopping and church complex. A 911 caller believed the suspects were still inside, prompting a heavy response from Mt. Juliet police to search the complex.
Police said the suspects entered through a top entry, accessing the ceiling before eventually moving to the floor level. While officers were searching, another witness said they spotted two suspects leaving the building and fleeing the area before officers even arrived at the scene.
No one was found after officers conducted a comprehensive search and MJPD believes all of the suspects did leave the area before officers arrived. Police described the suspects as male teenagers between the ages of 14-19 — one had a skateboard and another had a bicycle. Those two are known to frequent the area, police said.
