Franklin Police recover $20 grand in stolen goods

Franklin Police Flex Officers have recovered upwards of $20,000 in merchandise shoplifted from the CoolSprings Galleria since Black Friday. Working closely with security, undercover officers have made 55 arrests as the operation dubbed “Not in Our Mall,” remains in full force. 

Last night officers arrested 31-year-old Lindsey Locke (shown here) of Murfreesboro and recovered nearly $3,000 in stolen merchandise from her car. Undercover officers recognized Locke as the same woman who got away with more than $700 in stolen perfume and designer handbags Saturday. That theft wasn’t discovered until after Locke had gotten away with the stolen goods and clerks found empty boxes she left behind. After reviewing the video, security and police recognized Locke when she returned to the scene of the crime last night. Officers also arrested Rodney Hutson, who was with her last night. Hutson was wanted by Metro Police on unrelated charges.
