Tennessee shoppers trap looting gang inside store as they wait for cops to arrive

A shopping trip for customers at Tanger Outlets Nashville went wrong after a group of robbers broke into a perfume store.

A TikTok user (@ptodropout) posted a video obtained by WSMV4 of four individuals robbing Perfumania at the Antioch outlets on June 2.

One security guard and multiple shoppers held the door shut while the incident was taking place and trapped the thieves inside while they waited for police.

But the robbers were able to escape by smashing their way through a back door before the cops could arrive.

Preston, the TikToker's son and one of the witnesses, told WSMV4 that he could hear an employee yell, 'Y'all can't be in here' right before the incident began.

'I turned around and saw three or four people walking in with masks and hoodies on,' he told the news outlet.

'I’ve never seen it happen before, so I was a little in shock. I just was doing what I thought I should do,' said Preston.

'[They were] Trying to run around the store, break into the cash register, break through the glass, get all the cologne out of the shelves and stuff.'

Witnesses said that they weren't sure if the foursome were armed but that they were between the ages of 16 and 20.

It was worth watching the robbers $hit their pants.

And yet they got away

“They eventually jumped into one of the lanes and stopped a car, which they used as their final and successful act of a getaway”

I’m sure they left a lot of evidence behind

and

those skid marks in their underwear are going to be hard to clean.

Speaking of”skid marks”, I’ll bet Biden’s U trow look like the
main runway at Dulles Int.

Sorry, but don’t get too optimistic. Your typical urban hoodlum will cut and run when faced with a determined citizenry. The gangsters Biden is letting in from our southern border will be a bit more resolute.

Not mine. There were plenty of bodies to beat them if they resisted, and someone should have thought to back up against the back door that EVERY shop has.

The article also buries at the bottom details which suggest that they carjacked a car on the interstate to get away.

And never cites the robbers’ race. Telling.

Put a hole through them and they won’t be so resolute.

And I'd say they were VERY LUCKY to have NOT crossed paths with someone who was, "Concealed Carrying", which is totally legal in Tennessee!

Is Tennessee a constitutional carry state? Could an armed shopper have picked them off at the back door?
