MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man is now behind bars after police say he admitted to stealing from multiple homes after he was fired from a property management company almost two months ago.

Mario Eddins, 38, is facing several charges, including burglary of a building, five counts of aggravated burglary, and five counts of theft of property.

On April 13, patrol deputies say they were called to a home in Southeast Shelby County regarding a burglary report.

The company manager for Firstkey Homes told police a refrigerator and ring camera were missing from the home. She says an employee was the last person to check the home on April 1 and that the suspects entered using the key box on the front door of the residence.

During further investigation, detectives say they noticed a pattern of burglaries at Firstkey Home properties within the area. On April 7, a manager of property security for the company reported that two other homes had been burglarized the day before.

However, one of the homes had a hidden camera that showed three male suspects removing appliances. Police say one of the men was identified as a former employee, Mario Eddins.

Eddins was reportedly fired back in March.

An arrest warrant for aggravated burglary was issued for Eddin’s arrest at that time.

On April 10, detectives say they received video footage of a gray pickup truck backing into the driveway of a home on April 1 and removing a refrigerator. Detectives say they were able to identify the owner and the address registered to the pickup truck by using the flock camera system data.

The safety camera system data also showed Eddins to be in the area during the time of the burglary in a black Honda Accord.

On April 24, detectives executed a search warrant on the man who was driving the pickup truck. The man told detectives where he bought and stored the appliances, and described the person he bought them from. The description matched Eddins, detectives say.

Detectives found Eddins at his mother’s home and took him into custody.

That is when detectives say Eddins confessed to six out of 15 of the Firstkey Home property burglaries. Eddins told detectives that he felt unjustly fired by the business and was “getting back at them” for his termination.

On May 6, a search warrant was executed for Eddins’ phone and iPad, where detectives say they found photos of the appliances from the burglarized homes.

Mario Eddins is due in court on Thursday morning.
