28-year-old Javier Calles-Contreras was involved in the burglary of Mid Tenn Powersports on August 27th. Detectives from the Lebanon Police Department contacted MNPD, informing them that Mid Tenn Powersports was burglarized at 1:00 a.m. on August 27th. They stated that four motorcycles and other merchandise were announced stolen. The detectives were later provided surveillance footage of a black 2006 Chevy Colorado entering and leaving the location. The Chevy Colorado tags led to a residence on Parton Place in Antioch, so detectives were dispatched to investigate the incident.
When detectives arrived, they observed a red Honda CRF50F inside the residence’s open garage door. This matched one of the motorcycles stolen from Mid Tenn Powersports. The garage door was closed once someone inside the residence noticed detectives outside. After a brief moment, the garage door opened again, and Contreras was observed pushing the dirt bike into the driveway with assistance from another person. Contreras proceeded to ride around the neighborhood and then come back to the driveway. Once he returned to his house, he let another person ride it around the neighborhood until detectives decided to conduct an investigative stop. Detectives detained Contreras while they checked the VIN on the CRF50F, which came back as the one from the burglary. The value of the Honda CRF50F was approximated at $1,700. Contreras was then taken into custody for theft.
Javier Eliseo Calles-Contreras of Parton Place in Antioch, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 27th, charged with theft. He is free on a $1,000 bond.
