The Madison Police Department and Rankin County Sheriff both issued the following press releases and mug shots concerning the theft of delivery packages in the Jackson metro area. The police welcome any tips the public can provide on these thieves.
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey's statement:
Rankin County Sheriffs Office Seeking Public's Help in Locating Thieves
The Sheriffs Office is asking for your help in locating two indviduals wanted for stealing packages from victim’s residences.
The first report of delivery packages being stolen was reported on January 26, 2016 in the Live Oaks Subdivision off of Hwy 468. Since the initial report, the number of victims has grown to nearly a dozen. The victims are from the Live Oaks subdivision, the Greenfield Station subdivions and from a victim on Monterey Road.
Rankin County is not alone. It appears the same suspects have been involved in criminal activity in the cities of Brandon, Madison, Flowood and Madison county. These agencies along with our investigators have been working collectively to identify and attempt to locate the thieves.
Law enforcment has caught several breaks in the case and actually have the perpetrators on video commiting several of the crimes. They have been identified as Gregory Montreal MAGEE and his wife Kenya Michelle KNOTTS. Both individuals have previous criminal histories and warrants have been issued for both.
It appears the duo is simply following UPS and FedEx delivery trucks around and picking up packages that are being left. Some victim’s have even confronted the pair not realizing they had just been victimized.
One picture from home surveillance shows KNOTTS wearing what appears to be a ladies top that had just been stolen in Brandon.
They are believed to be traveling in a black 2005 Ford 500 with Rankin County tag RDZ-243.
The value of the contents stolen from Rankin County victim’s has not risen to the dollar threshold to make the crime a felony, that is not the case in Madison. The bandits have stolen items in excess of the $1000 limit in that jurisdiction.
The two would not have been identified in such a timely manner had it not been for home surveillance video. We want to thank those individuals for providing law enforcement with that evidence that was valuable in identifying the suspects and will be useful when they are caught and brought to justice.

No mention of the JPD advisory warning women not to be alone in the City of Jackson, at all hours of the day?
Is that Mon-TREE-ul or Mon-tree-ALL? He looked crippled up in the video. But not nearly as crippled up as he gonna be with an ass-load of buckshot.
Hang on Speedy Gonzales. I literally JUST got the press release. Arriva.
8:49 won't be satisfied until this website is exclusively anti-Jackson articles. Thanks anonymous commenter for being such a "shining example" of a metro-area citizen should be. Grow up.
Nice comment KF,:) By the way, I appreciate your updates. I get more local news on your blog than anywhere else. Let me know where I can donate to keep you in business.

Grow up?
When things in Jackson are so bad that the administration feels the need to warn women to not be caught out alone inside the city limits of Jackson, I would think that even a moron like yourself would admit that there IS a problem with this city.
The Rankin County Sheriff's Office can improve its image by learning the proper use of the apostrophe. The apostrophe does not make a noun plural. It merely shows possession. Individual is not pluralized by adding "'s." "individuals" is the proper form.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle but someone has to carry on.
9:27,
I notice you don't have a handle yerownself.
If law enforcement was serious about crime they would setup 24 hour roadblocks into/outof ward 3. Might need some new/bigger jails though.
OK has Kennuf officially made Jackson a sanctuary city for thugs? That is, can I now follow the Fed Ex guy around in Madison and Rankin, take packages off they porches, and scoot to Jxn where Kennuf and possy will defend me with bricks and bottles??
Is that where we are now, or am I jumping ahead ? Or am I way behind?
Has Oboma signed off on the brick and bottles in his war against police brutality? I am really surprised that Kennuf has not accepted a cabinet post.
