Gulfport Police warning residents of porch pirates
SUMMARY: Police in South Mississippi are warning residents about increasing package thefts, commonly known as porch piracy. Jen Mulla experienced this firsthand when a package delivered before Hurricane Franklin was stolen minutes after it arrived, captured by her doorbell camera. Authorities emphasize that these crimes are opportunistic, and encourage neighbors to watch for each other. While Mulla’s stolen package wasn’t crucial, the impact can vary greatly. With the holiday season approaching, officials recommend measures to prevent theft, such as having packages delivered to workplaces, holding them at post offices, or requesting signature confirmations upon delivery.
The suspect was seen stealing a package and fleeing in a white, four-door sedan.

Pass Christian cannabis dispensary optimistic as nearby Buc-ee’s construction nears finish
SUMMARY: A cannabis dispensary called Bless Goat held a soft opening after five weeks of construction at the Oak Square shopping center in Pass Christian. The owners chose the location on Firetower Road due to its ideal spot and patient needs.
