Memphis liquor stores face increasing burglary threats.

Three liquor stores in Memphis were targeted in burglaries overnight, with one store being successfully robbed. Memphis Police believe that the same group of four to six suspects were involved in all three incidents, as well as a burglary at a gas station and an attempted break-in at another liquor store. The suspects used sledgehammers to try and break into the stores, and stole around $10,000 worth of merchandise from one store. This comes less than a week after another liquor store was vandalized and robbed by a group of 12 people.
