Wiggins police seek help identifying suspect

WIGGINS, Mississippi — The Wiggins Police Department is asking the public to help identify a suspect connected to a recent incident in the city, officials said.

Police released images of the individual this week in hopes someone in the community recognizes the person and can provide information that may assist the investigation, the department said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Wiggins Police Department at 601-928-5444. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers using an online tip form, according to police. Crime Stoppers programs allow citizens to provide information without revealing their identity.
