NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Metro Nashville Police said Friday night that they have arrested an 18-year-old in connection to the break-ins of nearly a dozen Nashville Electric Service vehicles earlier in the day.
In a post on X, police said that Vehicle Crimes detectives arrested 18-year-old Camron Franklin for the burglaries. NES security had earlier told police that the break-ins occurred at one of their parking lots on 12th Avenue North at about 6:20 a.m.
It’s believed the break-ins happened about an hour-and-a-half earlier while the owners were working. Three pistols were stolen during the burglary as well.
Eleven NES vehicles were burglarized early Friday morning.
In the update on Friday night, police said at least three stolen guns were found in Franklin’s possession. They also found “window breaking tools, vehicle programmers and key fobs.”
“Franklin is also suspected in a series of auto thefts and vehicle burglaries at Nashville hotels,” police said, adding that they had executed a search warrant at Franklin’s home.
Franklin will be booked on multiple charges, they said.
