Franklin Police are searching for a suspect from a brazen getaway. On December 7, 19-year-old Anthony Gifford, of Nashville, took part in a $4,500 shoplifting at the Franklin Macy’s. Gifford was one of four suspects who managed to make his way to a getaway car after the theft.

When Franklin Police Officers attempted to stop that car, the driver intentionally rammed the police car before fleeing. Franklin  Police and Crime Stoppers are offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to the whereabouts and arrest of Anthony Gifford.
