"They came from Walkley Lane both times. They passed Pizza&co and the Riverside bar, maybe the Sacred Heart Church.

"They were also probably passing the Subway/Hillsborough Tap or other shops on the Middlewood Road when they were running away first in the bikes."

"It’s just so sad that now with all the coronavirus people do that. Chatanoga is a small business and like many other local shops we were severely affected by the pandemic."
