Protecting your packages during the holiday season
SUMMARY: Many farmers are experiencing crop theft and are looking for solutions. Crime is on the rise and more people are ordering online, leading to increased opportunities for porch pirates. A 2023 survey showed that over 21 billion packages were shipped, but not all made it to their destination. Criminals are taking advantage of this opportunity, even targeting carriers like Amazon and UPS. These carriers are implementing lockers to help secure deliveries and prevent theft. Farmers like Jay Harrison are asking for more consistent days of crops alive and looking for ways to prevent further theft and loss.
Here are some tips for preventing ‘porch pirates’ from turning the season of giving into the season of taking.

SUMMARY: Tuesday began with heavy showers, which will clear by afternoon, leaving cloudy skies and warm, muggy conditions, with temperatures reaching 76-77°F. The rain results from a cold front interacting with warm Gulf moisture. Showers will mainly affect western Alabama by 8 a.m., moving eastward throughout the morning. By late afternoon, lingering showers are possible, but skies will clear by 10 p.m. Cooler temperatures are expected over the next few days, dropping to upper 60s by Wednesday and potentially into the mid-30s at night, raising frost concerns. Expect breezy conditions with gusts up to 30 mph before sunshine returns later in the week.

SUMMARY: Kayin Triplet has been charged with felony commercial burglary after allegedly breaking into a Tupelo convenience store and stealing merchandise. The incident occurred last Monday when Triplet broke in through the rear door of the Express shop, prompting employees to board it up. Local residents expressed their disappointment, urging individuals to pursue legitimate jobs or education instead of resorting to theft. A store cashier noted that the community works hard for their belongings and deserves to feel safe, highlighting that this isn’t the first crime at this location, following an armed robbery investigation last year.
A young Tupelo man is accused of burglarizing a convenience store.
