In Smithfield, a string of criminal activities has raised concerns among local authorities and residents. Early on September 11, the Bullock Law Firm and Mitchell Temporary Services were targets of attempted break-ins. During the same timeframe, a small statue outside Centenary United Methodist Church suffered damage due to vandalism. Surveillance footage captured a suspect in the act, but poor lighting hindered clear identification. Police suspect these incidents are linked, given their close occurrences and have collected crucial evidence from one crime scene.
