The Massy Stores branch at French Street, Wood­brook, was closed un­til noon yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing a re­port­ed break-in and the dis­cov­ery of a body in the va­cant lot ad­ja­cent to the out­let.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the two in­ci­dents were linked, as they be­lieve the five sus­pects who broke in­to the gro­cery killed a home­less man liv­ing on the ad­ja­cent aban­doned com­pound be­fore us­ing the area to gain ac­cess to the build­ing.

Re­ports in­di­cate that two of­fi­cers at­tached to Al­lied Se­cu­ri­ty were alert­ed by their Con­trol De­part­ment that sev­er­al men had bro­ken in­to the Massy Stores ware­house at French Street, Wood­brook.
