24-year-old Samuel Mustapha matched the description of the previous shoplifter from July 16th at the Murfreesboro Pike Walgreens. On July 17th, officers were near The Wash Tub Coin Laundry when they observed Mustapha at the location and detained him for the occurrence. Under Miranda, he admitted to stealing from Walgreens and the East Thompson Lane Dollar General Market, stating, “I needed the money.” Officers obtained footage from both establishments showing him exiting the store without paying for under $500 worth of items. Mustapha was later then taken into custody for theft. Mustapha was previously arrested for shoplifting at Mapco.
