On 10/18/14 Deputies were called to the Joppa Water Treatment Plant to investigate a Burglary. The investigation showed that someone forcefully entered the treatment plant and took several feet of copper wire. Evidence was collected at the scene leading Investigators to a suspect. The investigation continues and an arrest is expected.
Another Residential Burglary had occurred on 10/01/14 that was linked to the string of Burglaries reported last week in Massac County. This Burglary took place on Midway Rd. near HWY 145. Guns and money were taken from that Burglary. Investigators do not believe the Brookport Vehicle Burglaries were related to the Burglaries reported in the County. Investigators have been collecting forensic evidence to help identify who is responsible for these Burglaries. A Burglary was reported in Johnson County yesterday. In that Burglary, a possible suspect vehicle was identified as a white Buick passenger car. Investigators are unsure if the Johnson County Burglary is related to the Massac County Burglaries. Massac County residents are asked to be looking out for any suspicious vehicles or persons in their area.
