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.

Street Racer Jose Sandoval stopped to steal some cars on the way to his car meet in Nashville
After substantial police activity over the past couple of weeks, the two primary car groups currently holding meets and takeovers decided to lay low Friday night and not host any meets. Both Night Riders & Valhalla clubs were adamant in the group chats used by racers and spectators that ‘Jose’ was the only person hosting a meet Friday night, and he was doing that independently. But before he came to the meet that night, 20-year-old Jose Sandoval had an important stop to make, and some members of the telegram chat already knew about the stolen cars and how they were taken.
Police say they responded to a burglary-in-progress call on Charlotte Pike and, upon arrival, heard someone attempting to break into the business. One of the suspects became aware of the presence of police and fled out the back fence and into a black Dodge Challenger. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed and successfully evaded officers. A short time later, the vehicle returned to the area, and police successfully deployed spike strips. Sandoval turned down a dead-end street and then swerved toward police vehicles in an attempt to escape. He eventually stopped the vehicle, which was stolen, on Briley Parkway and gave himself up.
During an extensive interview, Sandoval admitted to “being a lookout” for another suspect who he says was breaking into the business. A search of Sandoval’s vehicle, which was also stolen, yielded several high-end car keys/fobs, a programmer for car key fobs (used for stealing them), and a located pistol. [images in full story]
