Crime Stoppers, Tupelo police seek suspect in commercial burglary

Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi and the Tupelo Police Department are asking the public for help identifying a person they say is responsible for a burglary of a commercial building early March 22, 2026.

According to a Crime Stoppers Facebook post, Tupelo officers responded at about 3 a.m. to an alarm at 1210 South Gloster Street, the location of The Fox’s Den. Officers observed broken glass at the front entrance, and the business owner told officers about $4,000 in items were taken and provided video footage of the incident.

Crime Stoppers urged anyone with information to submit an anonymous tip through the P3 Tip app. The organization said it will pay up to $2,000 in cash for a tip that leads to an arrest and reminded tipsters it does not need names, only information. The post said the program’s 800 number is temporarily out of service.

Tupelo police continue to investigate. Crime Stoppers programs generally collect anonymous leads and offer rewards to encourage information that leads to arrests. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
