Deputies with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department say at least two more Dollar General Stores have been hit by burglars and there is evidence that indicates that the crimes might have been committed by the same suspects who recently broke into the location on Highway 63 west of Jasper. Officers say the latest burglaries occurred at Dollar General Stores in Polk County and that the burglars there were apparently targeting cigarettes and other items taken on Monday evening when the store located here was burglarized. Officers are still investigating the incident and asking anyone that might have any information concerning the crime to come forth. Security cameras within the store caught images of the alleged suspects.
