UPS break-ins a problem for employees

Posted: Updated:

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Employees at United Parcel Service, on McDowell Road in south Jackson are complaining about their personal vehicles being broken into on a company parking lot.

Jackson Police spokesman Joseph Daughterly said there "Have been 15 break ins reported in the past two weeks." 

UPS told WLBT News, in a nice way, we had to leave the property and there was no spokesman available to talk to us. 

Police are baffled because there is security on duty 24 hours a day and there is only one way in and one way out of the parking lot.

No drivers, who park their cars in this lot on McDowell Road would talk to us on camera, but off camera we were told it is a serious problem. It is so serious one driver had his car broken into in the parking lot and then later in front of his south Jackson home. 

Eighteen wheeler drivers for ups leave their personal cars on property owned by the company, while they are away driving the trucks.
