A woman was robbed last Thursday, April 26th, while leaving the Beauty Shop for lunch at around 1 pm. A black male, around 5 ft 4 inches, 180 lbs, snatched the woman’s purse as he walked by. The perpetrator hopped in a royal blue Impala and sped down Cooper to Southern and turned.
The perpetrators are two black males. The younger of the two is the driver and the robber (one noted above) is around 35 years of age, of short stature and his face is pitted. He also sometimes has a plaid fedora he wears. The car’s license plate is TN C70-08V.

On Saturday, May 12th, the Cooper-Young neighborhood will be the place to find the unusual, eclectic and one-of-a-kind items that one would expect at a Midtown yard sale.
The 4th annual Cooper-Young Community Yard Sale will be taking place starting at 8 am and running until 2 pm. Community residents will be setting up their yard sale items outside of their homes and the neighborhood will transform into a prime location for those seeking bargains or unique items. It will be a yard sale hunter’s paradise!
Past examples of Cooper-Young yard sale items include furniture, antiques, bicycles, clothing, children’s items, artwork and many various knick-knacks.
This event is held rain or shine. Since the individual yard sales are managed by Cooper-Young residents, they reserve the right to make changes to their yard sale times depending on weather. For the most up-to-date yard sale postings, please visit www.cooperyoung.org/classifieds/.
