The Brandon Police Department issued the following statement.
In the early morning hours of October 1, 2025, detectives from the Florence Police Department, working in collaboration with detectives from the Brandon Police Department, arrested Kemarius Armstrong, 25, of Pearl, MS, in connection with a series of recent auto burglaries in Brandon and Florence. The week-long investigation was a joint effort between both communities and their law enforcement agencies. Information provided by residents proved invaluable in ultimately identifying Armstrong as a suspect.
During the investigation, detectives determined that Armstrong was in possession of multiple items confirmed to have been stolen during the burglaries. His arrest was the result of proactive networking and coordinated efforts between Brandon and Florence investigators. Chief Joseph French stated, “This arrest highlights the importance of strong partnerships between law enforcement agencies and members of the community. Through collaboration and information-sharing, we were able to quickly identify and apprehend a suspect responsible for victimizing members of our communities.” Armstrong was transported to the Rankin County Jail, where he faces multiple charges related to the burglaries. The case remains under investigation, and additional charges may follow. The Brandon Police Department reminds residents to always secure their vehicles, remove valuables, and immediately report any suspicious activity.

I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding and that somehow, racism is involved. Just another great future scholar, scientist, and someone else has GOT to be at fault. Good job law enforcement!
Let me guess… the valuable items included guns… and the vehicles were unlocked
Let me guess, someone on here will blame the victims. Oh wait....
@2:32 Stupid is as stupid does. The negligent gun owners should be charged too just like if their kids found the unsecured weapon and killed themself or someone else. Negligent gun owners need to lose their right to own a gun in these cases.
Once convicted, He'll be out in less than 3 years to terrorize again.
@3:00 you're right - that's exactly what happened here and is a great comparison
Transportation is a human right. How is someone supposed to live in America today without a car? Impossible. Should this young man have gone to the dealership to get hoodwinked by massive interest rates?? Some people have employment and credit limitations and resort to any means to obtain a way to get to work or church.
@3:39 I onow you are being facetious but both the former Hinds County Sheriff and current Rankin and Madison County Sheriffs have publicly acknowledged easily stolen “truck guns” from the suburbs is a huge issue that contributes massively to gun crime in the metro.
