Authorities said they’re searching for two individuals wanted in an IRS scam.
According to reports, Anthony Harvey Devon and Reginald Dale Gatewood picked up MoneyGrams on Monday in the amount of $9,344 at the Walmart in Smyrna.
Officials said the two have been running the scam by contacting people who live out of state, mainly Georgia, California, and Oklahoma, and claiming to be IRS agents.
They have been telling victims they will send police to arrest them if they do not pay their delinquent taxes immediately.
The suspects have then informed the victims they can pay by credit card or banking accounts sent via MoneyGram.
Authorities said both Devon and Gatewood have been charged with 12 felony counts and two misdemeanors.
Anyone with information on these two suspects has been asked to contact Detective Allan Nabours with the Smyrna Police Department at 615-267-5434.
