“Currently the police department is short staffed, and we need the community’s help in identifying possible suspects,” Gray said.

If you see suspicious activity from vehicles or people in progress, call 911 Gray said. And if they have information they may also call (859) 238-1220 and ask for an officer.

Gray reminded all residents that “This is the season where we must be vigilant with vehicles, lock doors at night and put valuables out of sight.”

The suspects are also being linked to a vehicle and firearm theft that occurred just outside of Danville in Perryville. The stolen vehicle is described as a black Chevrolet extended cab pickup with KY license plate number 395 YWJ.
