Massac County Deputies began taking reports of vehicle break-ins in the area of the Metropolis Country Club and the Lakeview Dr. area. One victim reported the theft of car stereo equipment and a wallet. The victim was alerted that the card was being used at gas stations and Wal-Mart on Hinkleville Rd. in Paducah. Investigators began working with Wal-Mart on surveillance video of the offender using the stolen card. At the same time, another victim reported the theft of various items from his vehicle. Items included jackets, sunglasses and an Ipad. Investigators used the "Find my Ipad" app on the Ipad to track it's locations. This led investigators to the area of 28th and Jackson St. in Paducah.
