Crime alert: Kroger

From a recent email:

On Saturday, Aug 30 at 11:30 am, Suzanne Plyler was putting her groceries in car at Kroger on Mendenhall and Sanderlin when two men drove up, jumped out of their car while she was loading her groceries, and grabbed her purse that was wedged between her legs. Fortunately, she was unharmed. The police told her that Kroger has had many occurrences in the past. Apparently, they have only have security from noon to 6:00pm and they are a 24 hour store.

There are two things we should all take a few minutes to do. First, email Charles Cayce (ccayce@weingarten.com) and Justin Robertson (jrobertson@weingarten.com) at Weingarten, property managers for Mendenhall Commons, and demand 24-hour security.

Second, email Pam Cain (pam.cain@memphistn.gov) and Maria Fuhrmann (maria.fuhrmann@memphistn.gov) at Memphis City Council and request your email be sent to all the council men and women. Let them know how strongly you feel about the city fighting crime.

You may also want to ask for help with taking your groceries to the car, especially if you have small children with you.
