The theft of all four tires and wheels from a vehicle parked at a Eupora residence remains under investigation.
Webster 911 reports show the theft was reported about 7:30 a.m. Feb. 14 from a residence on Whites Creek Lake Circle.
Police Chief Lawrence Caradine said the tires and wheels were stolen the night before from a Honda Accord. He said footage from a surveillance camera at the residence did not show anything to help in the investigation and the Eupora Police Department had no leads as of Feb. 15.
Thefts of tires and wheels have also occurred in Grenada, Yalobusha, Carroll, Calhoun and Tallahatchie counties, all apparently related, according to Caradine. The EPD shared this public announcement on social media after the local theft was reported:
