Burglaries in Saucier
Recent burglaries in Saucier have residents in the area angry and alarmed. In the past two weeks, there have been two cases of breaking and entering in the Edgewood Manor subdivision. News 25’s Kendra Turley caught up with the most recent victim.
Monique Burrus usually stays at work until 5 p.m. Luckily, she came home a couple of hours early today. “I walked into the house and my motion sensor went off. I came to my bedroom and I noticed that my backdoor was busted open.”
After looking around, Burrus noticed her dresser doors opened and multiple items missing. “They took our driver’s license, social security cards, birth certificates, and bank cards, all of our wedding certificates. Everything out of my briefcase.”
The burglars also stole plenty of jewelry, electronics and personal family items.The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department arrived to investigate the scene but they didn’t have to look too hard, the burglars left behind plenty of evidence, such as fingerprints and cigarettes lined with DNA. “They sent the dogs out here and the dogs found the scent all the way to the back of our woods over to another house and come to find out that house had been broken in a week ahead,” said Burrus.
Burrus tells News 25, although she’s heartbroken most of her prized possessions are gone, she’s happy to have all of her loved ones unharmed. “I have a daughter that’s 17-years-old. She usually comes home at 1 o’clock and she was not here. So, I’m thankful for that because she would’ve been here when they came and that would’ve been a bad situation.”
The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department tells News 25 no arrests have been made just yet.
