Law Enforcement Communication and Cooperation Results in Quick Arrest of Burglary Suspects

Three suspects were arrested Tuesday after a multi-agency law enforcement effort that began with a residential burglary investigation in Madison County and ended with a foot pursuit in Flowood.

At approximately 3 p.m. Sept. 15, 2026, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Madison Police Department issued a BOLO, or Be on the Lookout, for two males suspected of being involved in a residential burglary in Madison County.

Authorities were advised that the suspects were last seen traveling into Rankin County on Spillway Road in a Dodge Caravan with blacked-out windows.

Rankin County sheriff’s deputies, Flowood police officers, Madison police officers and Madison County sheriff’s deputies immediately began searching the area for the suspect vehicle.

A Rankin County K-9 deputy located the Dodge Caravan on Old Fannin Road and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The driver refused to stop and attempted to evade the deputy, prompting additional law enforcement units to join the pursuit.

The vehicle eventually fled into the Dogwood Festival area of Flowood, where it stopped and the occupants fled on foot.

Officers pursued the suspects and quickly took all three into custody. One suspect was apprehended near the vehicle, another was captured while attempting to enter a business, and the third was taken into custody after entering a restaurant.

All three suspects were transported to the Rankin County Jail and booked on felony fleeing charges. They were later released to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office to face burglary charges related to the Madison County investigation.

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey credited cooperation among the participating law enforcement agencies for the swift arrests.

“This incident is an excellent example of the importance of communication and cooperation among law enforcement agencies,” Bailey said. “From the initial BOLO to the apprehension of all three suspects, deputies and officers from multiple jurisdictions worked together to quickly locate the suspect vehicle, pursue the suspects and safely take them into custody.”

Bailey thanked the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, Flowood Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Madison Police Department for their response and cooperation.
