Five people are facing multiple charges in connection to a string of auto burglaries reported on Old Taylor Road.

From March 26 to March 30, several residents on Old Taylor Road contacted the Oxford Police Department to report their vehicles had been burglarized, which led OPD to investigate the incidents.

On April 3, investigators executed a search warrant on an apartment off of Old Taylor Road, where they were able to recover several stolen items and arrested two individuals who were involved in the burglaries. Those individuals were identified as Ledarius Davis, 21 of Oxford, and Rashod Sharp, 21 of Oxford.
