An investigation is underway after an individual broke into a Jackson elementary school and stole multiple valuable items.
Jackson Public Schools announced on Thursday that a suspect broke into Casey Elementary near Ridgewood Road overnight. The individual, described as a Black male in his late teens to early 20s, is reported to have forced entry into the school around 1:20 a.m. on Thursday.
The suspect, who is believed to stand at around 5-foot-10, had a white bandana covering most of his face, while wearing a gray baseball cap, a black hoodie, and camouflage shorts.
Authorities say the suspect stole electronics, credit cards, and other items before fleeing the scene with a backpack that he had stolen. No one was at the educational facility when the thief trekked it, and no injuries were reported.
Anyone with information connected to this case is encouraged to call JPS Police at (601) 960-8875.
