On Jan. 6, and Jan. 11, 2019, multiple suspects forced entry into and burglarized Delta Auto Parts, Inc. located at 647 Haley Barbour Pkwy., Yazoo City, MS 39194. Multiple firearms were stolen during each burglary.

The ATF Jackson Field Office and the Yazoo City Police Department are jointly investigating these crimes.
