Nashville Booze Burglars Boost Patron In Antioch, Crown Royal In Madison

NASHVILLE, TN — Smash-and-grab robbers hit liquor stores in Antioch and Madison overnight, stealing tequila and Canadian whisky, respectively.

At JT's Liquor Store on Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch, a man used a hammer to break the front window early Wednesday morning, falling through the broken glass into the store itself and knocking over four bottles of vodka before stealing four bottles of Patron tequila.

Police haven't released a description of the suspect because investigators believe he may be connected to other recent break-ins in the area.

The burglary was similar to one that hit Madison Beverage Company around 3:30 Saturday morning.

Surveillance video shows the man break out the front door window with a rock and head straight for the Crown Royal, making two trips loading up his silver Chevrolet Impala.

The burglar wore a gray hoodie, a white t-shirt, white sneakers and gloves. He has a tattoo sleeve on his left arm and a spider web tattoo on his right elbow.
