Smyrna Vape Shop Hit Twice in a Week, One Suspect Wore a Cow Onesie
Smyrna vape shop burglarized twice in a week; suspects include a person in a cow onesie, police seek public help.Summary
Smyrna Police are investigating two incidents at Jordan's Market, a vape shop at 291 East Sam Ridley Parkway, occurring within a week. On August 9, two masked individuals, one wearing a cow onesie, were caught on camera checking doors around 2 a.m. On August 16, three people burglarized the same store around 1 a.m., stealing multiple vape products. Detective Steve Martin is leading the investigation and has requested public assistance identifying the suspects.
The incidents highlight a growing trend of vape shop burglaries in Tennessee, driven by a 2026 law (HB 1376) that restricted sales of high-potency hemp-derived cannabinoid and THCA products to licensed 21-and-older retail locations, concentrating valuable inventory in fewer physical stores. Commercial burglary is a Class D felony; theft charges depend on the value of stolen goods, with $1,000 or more constituting a Class E felony. Smyrna, a fast-growing suburb, has seen increased commercial development and crime along corridors like Sam Ridley Parkway. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Martin at 615-267-5432 or [email protected].
