SMYRNA, Tenn. — The Smyrna Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying two individuals suspected of carrying out a quick change scam at the Smyrna Walmart on Monday, January 27, 2025.

According to authorities, the two men, both dressed in black clothing with black jackets, managed to deceive a cashier while paying for merchandise. Using quick change tactics, the suspects confused the employee during the transaction, ultimately walking out of the store with over $3,200 worth of high-end earbuds—while paying less than $1,000 for the audio devices.

The quick change scam typically involves suspects manipulating cash transactions, often by rapidly switching bills, confusing the cashier, and exploiting moments of distraction to shortchange the business.

Smyrna Police are actively investigating the case and have released an appeal to the public. Anyone with information that could assist in identifying the suspects is urged to contact Detective Andrew Schaefer at 615-267-5146 or via email at andrew.schaefer@townofsmyrna.org.

Authorities encourage anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the store that day or who recognizes the description of the suspects to come forward. Your information could be vital to the investigation.

DISCLAIMER: All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The arrest records or information about an arrest that are published or reported on NewsRadio WGNS and www.WGNSradio.com are not an indication of guilt or evidence that an actual crime has been committed.
