Last week, a brazen theft occurred at St. Brigid Catholic Church in Southeast Shelby County, but the swift action of local law enforcement led to a positive outcome. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office reported on social media that two trailers containing about $6,000 in equipment were stolen from the church’s parking lot last Monday.
Investigators from the Burglary, Robbery, and Auto Theft (B.R.A.T.) unit responded quickly, identifying the suspect car involved in the heist. This breakthrough resulted in the execution of a search warrant at a residence on the 2100 block of Kentucky Street, when the situation took an unsettling turn. During the search, detectives discovered three loaded weapons, one of which was reported stolen from Southaven.
