Devonta Lowery steals 2 Lowes delivery trucks full of appliances during armed robbery

29-year-old Devonta Bernard Lowery was identified as one of the individuals who had stolen two Lowes delivery trucks from the White Creek Pike location on July 21st. Detectives arrived and spoke with the delivery drivers, Noslen Ciscal and Brian Quigley, who stated they were dropping off appliances for Lowes. Detectives then reviewed footage of the incident, which showed the drivers putting fuel into the delivery trucks when a white sedan arrived. After this, two suspects, one of whom was Lowery, exited the vehicle, and approached the trucks with a handgun. Lowery demanded the two drivers get on the ground, which they did. Then, Lowery and his co-defendant took their truck keys, wallet, and cell phones before entering the trucks and driving off. During the investigation, detectives discovered the stolen trucks in the Shelby House Apartment Complex parking lot on South 5th Street. Officers then obtained surveillance, showing Lowery and his co-defendant before and after the robbery, wearing the same clothes they had on in the sedan during the robbery. The surveillance also showed Lowery and his co-defendant unloading the appliances from the trucks. While executing a search warrant at the location, detectives saw Lowery and the other involved individual then detained them for the occurrence. Lowery was taken into custody for aggravated robbery on July 24th.

Street Racer Jose Sandoval stopped to steal some cars on the way to his car meet in Nashville

After substantial police activity over the past couple of weeks, the two primary car groups currently holding meets and takeovers decided to lay low Friday night and not host any meets. Both Night Riders & Valhalla clubs were adamant in the group chats used by racers and spectators that ‘Jose’ was the only person hosting a meet Friday night, and he was doing that independently. But before he came to the meet that night, 20-year-old Jose Sandoval had an important stop to make, and some members of the telegram chat already knew about the stolen cars and how they were taken.

Police say they responded to a burglary-in-progress call on Charlotte Pike and, upon arrival, heard someone attempting to break into the business. One of the suspects became aware of the presence of police and fled out the back fence and into a black Dodge Challenger. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed and successfully evaded officers. A short time later, the vehicle returned to the area, and police successfully deployed spike strips. Sandoval turned down a dead-end street and then swerved toward police vehicles in an attempt to escape. He eventually stopped the vehicle, which was stolen, on Briley Parkway and gave himself up.

During an extensive interview, Sandoval admitted to “being a lookout” for another suspect who he says was breaking into the business. A search of Sandoval’s vehicle, which was also stolen, yielded several high-end car keys/fobs, a programmer for car key fobs (used for stealing them), and a located pistol. [images in full story]
