GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
On August 5, 2018 at approximately 11:45 AM, a landscaping crew was working at Saint Dominic Catholic School, located at 1474 East Center Street. While they were working, an unidentified suspect unlawfully entered their company truck and stole a Stihl string trimmer (weed eater) and a pair of 3M hearing protection ear muffs. The total value of the stolen items was approximately $500.
Upon reviewing school surveillance video footage, it was determined that the suspect was a white male with multiple tattoos who was wearing a red t-shirt, shorts, and a ball cap. He fled the scene carrying the stolen property while riding a bicycle up Crescent Street toward Watauga Street. A photo of the suspect, taken from that footage, has been included in this release. Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111.
