4 charged after private security stops Infiniti at apartments

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A dramatic scene unfolded at the New Horizon Apartments in Whitehaven where, according to police records, security guards spotted a suspicious blue Infiniti speeding through the complex.

A private security team working at the complex pulled over the vehicle and found a stash of drugs, three loaded handguns, a box of ammo, eight key fobs and three vehicle programmers.

Four suspects were arrested, including three adults — Montavious Neal, Charles Dawson, and Roderic Crymes.

They’ve been hit with multiple charges, including theft of property, possession of a firearm and criminal intent – possession of fob programming equipment.

The Cobra Special Response Team’s Director of Security says their patrols have led to multiple arrests and a significant increase in safety.

Security officers from Cobra Special Response Security made the initial stop and called in Memphis Police. The security director, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed gratitude to the Memphis Police Department for their collaboration since May.

“Since we took over there have been a total of 71 arrests,” he said.

MPD says there have been 5,846 auto theft incidents so far this year, down from 8,572 at the same time last year.
