Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Theft suspects arrested as a result of license plate readers



 Murfreesboro police used license plate readers and public safety cameras to help detectives arrest two suspects accused of robbing a CBD store at gunpoint.

 

Crime data analysts with the Murfreesboro Police Department Real Time Crime Center identified a vehicle linked to the robbery and placed it near the business at the time of the crime. Investigators said the technology played a key role in identifying the suspects.

 

Police arrested Javier McClendon, 22, and Frank Foster-Dowell, 26, on April 10. Each face charges of aggravated robbery.

 

McClendon and Foster-Dowell are accused of entering Murfreesboro Tobacco and Vape on South Rutherford Boulevard on April 9 and robbing the store at gunpoint, stealing thousands of dollars in CBD and hemp products.

 

McClendon was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center and later released on an $80,000 bond. Foster-Dowell remained in custody with bond set at $75,000.  Hearings for both are set April 21 in General Sessions Court.
