A Mississippi police department has arrested two juveniles, and another is wanted for multiple counts of commercial burglary.
According to the Picayune Police Department, several reports of commercial burglaries were reported Monday morning. Monday night, an officer saw a suspicious person at Dad’s Campers while checking a building. At first, the suspect complied with the officer’s commands, but fled into a wooded area behind American Glass. K9 Officer Treat searched an area and found a vehicle that belonged to that suspect behind a church in the area.
During that search, an officer saw two people run across South Haugh Avenue into a wooded area near Meadowgreen Boulevard. K9 Trea tracked and located those two people.
One juvenile was charged with six counts of commercial burglary and another was charged with a count of commercial burglary and a count of resisting arrest by feeling. Both people, a male and a female, were released to their parents. Another juvenile suspect will be charged with six counts of commercial burglary upon arrest.
“We are proud of our officers and K9 Trea for making sure these suspects were caught and appreciate the deputies from the Pearl River County Sheriff’s Department for helping us set the perimeters,” the statement from PPD reads.
