WIGGINS, Miss. (AP) - The editor/publisher of the weekly Stone County Enterprise in Wiggins is taking action against people who steal newspapers.
Heather Freret tells The Sun Herald (http://bit.ly/ooCVQl ) that one night outside a gas station convenience store, she decided to take some video footage to see if she could catch some people putting 75 cents in the rack but taking more papers than they paid for.
Freret wrote an editorial in this past week's edition about using the video footage to gather still photos of the offenders and to publish those photos on the front page of the paper. Freret says while stealing is a crime, prosecuting for 75 cents is just not practical but maybe if people see their face on the front page, they won't steal newspapers again.
